Counsel Notes
[1] Section 13202(b) of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 transferred this section which relates to the Congressional Budget Office to section 201(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The text here reflects section 273 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 as enacted. The language in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is similar, but not verbatim.
Legislative History Notes
Transferred by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508).
Codification
Before it was transferred, this section was classified at sec. 921. of the U.S. Code. It was originally enacted in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA) ( Pub. L. 99–177, title II, §273, Dec. 12, 1985, 99 Stat. 1098) and related to revenue estimates. Section 13202(b) of BEA 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) redesignated it as section 201(g) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, in title II, which sets forth the Congressional Budget Office. The section is currently classified to the U.S. Code at 2 U.S.C. 601(f).
The text from the BEA 1990 that transferred the text from section 272 is as follows (emphasis added):
SEC. 13202. CODIFICATION OF PROVISION REGARDING REVENUE ESTIMATES.
(a) Redesignation.—Section 201 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is amended by redesignating subsection (f) as subsection (g).
(b) Transfer.—The text of section 273 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 is transferred to section 201 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 as subsection (g).[2]
(c) Conforming Changes.—Section 201(g) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (as redesignated by subsection (b)) is amended by–
(1) striking “this title and the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974” and inserting “this Act”; and
(2) inserting “Revenue Estimates.—” before the first sentence.
[Emphasis Added]
Endnotes
[2] This reference should be “(f)” rather than “(g)”. The transferred text should have been redesignated as section 201(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. This was corrected in section 201 by section 10102(c) of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33) and currently read accurately.
