Title 31 United States Code
MONEY AND FINANCE
The following sections are from Subtitle I (General) of Title 31 of the United States Code. Links to Law Revision Counsel’s website for these sections online may be found here: §300a. Title 31 §101 through §903.
These sections are important to the Congressional Budget process, in particular in that they include authorizing and administrative statutes related to the Government Accountability Office and the Office of Management and Budget. They do not, however, directly implicate those processes and so haven to traditionally been included in the compendia of budget rules and laws.
