AI Summary

  • Allows committee chairs in the House and Senate (except Appropriations) to obtain cost estimates for legislation from private accounting firms instead of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)

  • Private firm estimates would replace CBO scores for all budget enforcement purposes, including PAYGO, reconciliation, and budget resolutions

  • Eligible accounting firms are defined as any of the ten largest public accounting firms registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board by net revenue

  • When a committee chair obtains a private estimate, CBO is prohibited from preparing its own estimate for that legislation

  • Amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (incorrectly cited as 1985 in the bill text)
