The agency has published 215 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. One of those cost estimates was for S. 2938, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (now P.L. 117-159), which provides funding to encourage the enactment of state laws aimed at controlling access to guns and to support a variety of other initiatives to enhance school safety, mental health programs, and violence prevention. In addition, a number of cost estimates were for bills that would increase funding for services provided to veterans. They included an estimate for H.R. 3967, the Honoring our PACT Act of 2021, which would increase disability compensation and expand health care services for some veterans, and an estimate for H.R. 7158, the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act, which would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to increase access to medical foster homes for some veterans with severe disabilities. In addition, since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 21 reports, working papers, testimonies, and interactive tools; they satisfied statutory requirements, fulfilled Congressional requests, or provided economic and budgetary analysis or technical information (see Table 1 on page 5). Most notable among the publications that analyzed the economic and budgetary situation was The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2022 to 2032, published on May 25. Supplemental information released along with the report included 11 years of projections for about 2,000 separate budget accounts as well as for major categories of revenues and for economic variables. The agency also published details about baseline projections for selected programs related to education, health, Social Security and pensions, and other issues. In addition, CBO completed its mandated update on the cost of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Each month, CBO issued its Monthly Budget Review, an analysis of federal spending and revenues for the previous month and the fiscal year to 1.
