Congressional Budget Office Scheduling Reform Act
Latest action. Referred to the House Committee on the Budget.
Congressional Budget Office Scheduling Reform Act
This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to annually publish a schedule of the expected publication dates of its major recurring reports.
The schedule must must include, at a minimum, the expected publication dates for
the baseline for the budget year and subsequent updates,
the report on options to reduce the deficit,
the report on the accuracy of budgetary projections for the most recently completed fiscal year, and
the report on programs or activities with unauthorized appropriations.
CBO must (1) publish the schedule on its public website no later than December 31 of each year, and (2) update the schedule during the following calendar year as necessary.
Written by analysts at the Congressional Research Service and published on Congress.gov, not by Civibrief. Summarized at the "Introduced in House" stage on November 19, 2025. It describes the bill, it is not the legal text.
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
4 steps remain before this bill could become law.
The record's latest action, on November 19, 2025: Referred to the House Committee on the Budget.
- Clearing the committees it was referred to, and being scheduled for a floor vote
- Passage by the House
- Passage by the Senate
- The President's signature. If the President vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers must vote to override.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
Brandon Gill (R-TX) introduced it on November 19, 2025, and 5 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They are 5 Republicans.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on November 19, 2025, 295 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 295 days ago, on November 19, 2025.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
