HEALTH Panel Act
Introduced May 22, 2025 by Sen. Pete Ricketts
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill provides statutory authority for the Panel of Health Advisors within the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The panel provides expertise and recommendations to CBO to support its analysis and cost estimates relating to health and healthcare.
The bill requires the panel to report to the House and Senate Budget Committees on the recommendations the panel provided to CBO and how CBO utilized such recommendations. CBO must publish this report on its website.
The bill also requires the panel to consist of 15 members serving three-year terms. The respective chairs and ranking minority members of the House and Senate Budget Committees, and the director of CBO, must each appoint three members to the panel.
