Over the past three months, CBO has provided a variety of budget and economic analyses, fulfilling the agency’s core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the legislative process. The agency has published 43 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. CBO was also focused intensely on providing analysis of legislative proposals as the Congress was considering the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). In addition, since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 25 reports, working papers, testimonies, and interactive tools; they satisfied statutory requirements, fulfilled Congressional requests, or provided economic and budgetary analysis or technical information.
