114-hr-6144 114 hr 6144 Accurate Accounting Act of 2016 Economics and Public Finance 2016-09-22 2016-09-29 Referred to the Subcommittee on Social Security. House Rep. Graves, Tom [R-GA-14] GA R G000560 0 Accurate Accounting Act of 2016 This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 to permit Social Security spending and revenues to be counted in the totals included in the congressional budget resolution and the President's budget. The bill amends the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (PAYGO) to prohibit increases in Social Security revenues or decreases in Social Security spending from being counted as savings for the purpose of PAYGO rules that restrict legislation that increases the deficit. (Under current law, the Social Security trust funds are off-budget and all budgetary effects are excluded from the budget totals and PAYGO calculations.) The President must submit a budget for each department and agency that includes: a description of each activity for which funds were appropriated for the current year or requested for the budget year, the legal basis for each activity, three alternative funding levels and the priorities that could be accomplished with each, and measures of cost efficiency and effectiveness for each activity. The Office of Management and Budget must publish guidelines to require: (1) the baseline budget of each department or agency to be assumed to be zero, and (2) each proposed expenditure to be justified as if it were new. The Government Accountability Office must revise a study of mandatory spending required under current law at least every five years. 2023-01-11T13:33:44Z
