CBO's Activities in 2010 Under the Unfunded Mandates Reform ActMarch 31, 2011In 1995, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) was enacted to ensure that the Congress receives information, during the legislative process, about proposed federal requirements on state, local, and tribal governments and on various entities in the private sector. As required by UMRA, CBO prepares “mandate statements” for bills that are approved by authorizing committees. In those statements, CBO identifies requirements that would meet UMRA’s definition of a federal mandate and estimates whether the costs of such mandates would exceed annual dollar thresholds specified in that law.
