The Duplication Scoring Act of 2025 aims to improve the legislative process by ensuring that new bills or joint resolutions do not create duplication or overlap with existing federal programs or initiatives. Here’s a breakdown of what the bill would do:
Definition of Terms
The bill provides definitions for key terms used throughout the legislation:
- Covered Bill or Joint Resolution: Any public bill or joint resolution reported by a committee of Congress.
- Existing Duplicative or Overlapping Feature: An identified area of duplication, overlap, or fragmentation in federal programs as reported by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
- New Duplicative or Overlapping Feature: A new federal program, office, or initiative established by a covered bill that would duplicate an existing program.
Assessments by the Comptroller General
The bill mandates that for each covered bill or joint resolution, the Comptroller General of the United States shall:
- Evaluate the risk of the bill creating new duplicative or overlapping features.
-
If there is such a risk, the Comptroller General must identify:
- The name of the new federal program, office, or initiative.
- The section of the bill where it is established.
- The GAO report that lists the existing program with which it overlaps.
- Submit this information to the Director of the Congressional Budget Office and the committee responsible for the bill.
- Publish the information on the website of the GAO.
Inclusion in Budget Estimates
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director may use the information provided by the Comptroller General in budget estimates for the covered bill, as a supplement indicating potential duplicative or overlapping features.
Effective Date
The amendments made by this Act would become effective either:
- 60 days after the Director of the Office of Management and Budget updates relevant information on their website, or
- At the start of the next Congress, one year after the bill is enacted, whichever comes first.
Impact on Legislative Process
The intent of the bill is to streamline federal programs by identifying overlaps before new legislation is passed, thus promoting efficiency in government spending and administration.
