Congress CBO's Recent Publications and Work in Progress as of March 31, 2025 April 2025 To provide the Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget Office publishes quarterly reports that highlight the agency's recent publications and summarize its work in progress.1 Over the past three months, CBO has produced a variety of budget and economic analyses, fulfilling the agency's core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the legislative process. The agency's work takes many forms, including technical assistance to committees and Members when they are crafting legislation, cost estimates of legislation, testimonies, reports, and other analytical products. Recent Cost Estimates Through its technical assistance and cost estimates, CBO routinely provides the Congress with information about the effects of proposed legislation on the federal budget. The agency is required by law to prepare a cost estimate for nearly every bill that is approved by a full Congressional committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate. The agency publishes cost estimates at other stages of the legislative process, too, if requested to do so by a relevant committee or by Congressional leadership. Also, CBO estimates the budgetary effects of bills scheduled to be considered under suspension of the rules in the House, a procedure sometimes used to consider legislation on the House floor in an expedited manner.2 The agency published 118 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. Those include an estimate published on February 26 for H.J. Res. 35 (now Public Law 119-2), which would disapprove a November 2024 final rule published by the Environmental Protection Agency implementing a requirement in the 2022 reconciliation act (P.L 117-169). On February 25, CBO published an estimate for S. 347, the Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025, which would modify and reauthorize two grant programs administered by the Environmental Protection Agency that support state actions to clean up and redevelop brownfields. (Brownfields are properties contaminated with hazardous substances that must be remediated before the properties can be redeveloped.) 1.

To receive the Quarter in Review newsletter that accompanies each report in this series, readers can submit their email address under Stay Connected at the bottom of any page on CBO's website. 2. In addition, the agency prepares cost estimates when a bill is the subject of a motion to be placed on the Consensus Calendar-an alternative route to the floor for certain House bills and resolutions that have broad bipartisan support.
