The House and Senate Budget Committees must continually study ways to improve congressional budgeting. Each committee must report its results and recommendations, and other committees may conduct their own studies.
(a) The House and Senate Budget Committees must continually study proposals to improve and make congressional budgeting easier. The proposals include, but are not limited to: (1) improving information for judging new programs, including through pilot tests, surveys, and other experimental or analytical methods; (2) improving analytical and systematic reviews of existing programs; (3) setting maximum and minimum time limits for authorizing programs; and (4) developing human-resource accounting and other ways to measure noneconomic as well as economic results.
(b) Each House’s Budget Committee must from time to time report its study results and recommendations to that House.
(c) This section does not prevent any other House or Senate committee, or any joint congressional committee, from studying ways to improve budgeting.
The Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and the Senate shall study on a continuing basis proposals designed to improve and facilitate methods of congressional budgetmaking. The proposals to be studied shall include, but are not limited to, proposals for—
improving the information base required for determining the effectiveness of new programs by such means as pilot testing, survey research, and other experimental and analytical techniques;
improving analytical and systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of existing programs;
establishing maximum and minimum time limitations for program authorization; and
developing techniques of human resource accounting and other means of providing noneconomic as well as economic evaluation measures.
The Committee on the Budget of each House shall, from time to time, report to its House the results of the study carried on by it under subsection (a), together with its recommendations.
Nothing in this section shall preclude studies to improve the budgetary process by any other committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate or any joint committee of the Congress.
