HR 9751 United States House · 118th Congress

Executive Action Cost Transparency Act

HR 9751, the Executive Action Cost Transparency Act, requires the Congressional Budget Office to include the budgetary costs of significant executive and judicial actions in official baseline calculations. Specifically, it mandates that the CBO track executive actions (like rules or executive orders) and judicial decisions that cost $50 billion or more over ten years, including proposed actions as if they were final. This would create a dedicated table in annual budget reports listing these high-impact actions, making their financial effects more visible to Congress and the public. The bill does not change how executive actions are created but improves transparency around their fiscal impact within existing budget processes.
