Duplication Scoring Act of 2026
Refreshed 2 h ago
Introduced 2026-03-26Topic: governance ethics · budgetSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review each public bill or joint resolution reported by a congressional committee to see whether it would create a new federal program, office, or initiative that duplicates or overlaps with areas GAO has already flagged in its annual duplication reports. When there is a risk, GAO would identify the new program's name, the section of the bill that creates it, and the GAO report that flagged the existing overlap. GAO would send this information to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the committee that reported the bill, and post it on GAO's website. CBO could attach the information to its cost estimate for the bill, or submit it later as a supplement. The changes would take effect at a set point tied to a federal program-website update or the start of a new Congress.
