Income and Race Impact Analysis for Legislation: Enhanced Budget Transparency

This act aims to increase transparency in the legislative process by requiring the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) to analyze how new laws will affect the incomes of various social and racial groups. This will give citizens better insight into the potential financial and social consequences of proposed changes, allowing them to assess whether legislation is fair and beneficial for everyone.
Key points
Mandates financial impact analysis of legislation on different income and racial groups, increasing public awareness.
Ensures citizens have access to detailed data on how legal changes might affect their finances and daily lives.
Requires a report on methods for analyzing the impact of legislation on different genders, potentially leading to future analyses.
