CBO Releases New Report

January 15, 2013

Private-Sector Mandates in Federal Legislation

CBO analyzes pending federal legislation and enacted laws to identify private-sector mandates, which are enforceable duties imposed on entities in the private sector. About 12% of the laws enacted between 2001 and 2011 impose such mandates.

The report was prepared by Amy Petz of CBO's Microeconomic Studies Division.
