By: FEDweek StaffThe CBO has issued cost estimates on several bills that have advanced through congressional committees recently, typically a last step before they are brought to floor voting in the House and Senate. They include:
* HR-6531, to require VA to develop and deliver a training program for its supervisors, focusing on areas such as leadership and performance management. Supervisors would receive the training in person from a live instructor. All supervisors would be required to complete the training within 18 months of the bill’s enactment and then biennially.
* HR-5301, to require agencies to list within their annual budget justification any recurring reports, including governmentwide and interagency reports, they identify as outdated or duplicative and to recommend whether to change or end those reports.
* HR-7987, to require the SBA to issue rules requiring that notices of contracting opportunities for small businesses be written in a “clear and concise manner” under Plain Writing Act standards.
* HR-8343, to require the President’s annual budget proposal to include information about improper payments, add reporting requirements about improper payments for new programs, and require agencies to report on their anti-fraud and risk management activities in their financial reports.
