S 2618 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Office of Technology Assessment Improvement and Enhancement Act

S 2618 (Office of Technology Assessment Improvement and Enhancement Act) renames the Office of Technology Assessment to the Congressional Office of Technology throughout federal law. It updates the office's core functions to provide timely briefings, technical assistance, and policy options to Congress on science and technology issues without requiring Board review. The bill requires the office to balance assessment requests from both political parties when possible and mandates coordination with the Congressional Research Service and Government Accountability Office to avoid duplicated work. These changes directly affect how the Congressional Office of Technology serves members of Congress and supports legislative decision-making on technology-related matters.
