New Cost Assessment Rules for Major Legislation: Transparency for Taxpayers
This act introduces new rules for assessing the costs of major legislative proposals. The goal is to increase transparency by showing how changes in law might affect the economy, employment, and national debt. This will give citizens better insight into how their money is managed and the long-term consequences of Congressional decisions.
