H.R. 7184 would amend the Privacy Act of 1974 to authorize the disclosure of certain information to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). In general, the Privacy Act prohibits executive branch agencies from disclosing certain records without the prior written consent of the people to whom the records pertain. There are currently twelve exceptions to this prohibition, and H.R. 7184 would add a thirteenth specifically for disclosures to CBO.
