Congressional Budget Office Data Access Act

HR 7184, the Congressional Budget Office Data Access Act, amends the Privacy Act of 1974 to allow federal agencies to disclose certain personal data to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). This change directly affects federal agencies that collect personal information under the Privacy Act, enabling them to share data with the CBO when performing its budget analysis duties. The key provision adds a new exception (paragraph (11)) to the Privacy Act, explicitly permitting disclosures to the CBO Director or their authorized representatives for the CBO's official budgetary work. This streamlines data access for the CBO without altering privacy protections for individuals.
