Summary

Requires the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to testify up to two times each calendar year before each congressional Budget Committee (House and Senate) when the committee chair requests it. Testimony must occur by year-end and may cover any topics the committee chooses, including a review of the CBO’s most recently completed fiscal year baseline projections and estimates. The bill only adds this testimony requirement and a table-of-contents entry; it does not change funding, create programs, or set deadlines beyond the annual testimony timing.
