H.R. 288, Separation of Powers Restoration Act of 2023 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 118th
Date Requested May 10, 2023
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary on
Date Sent June 5, 2023
Description:
H.R. 288 would authorize federal courts that review agency actions to decide all relevant questions of law, including the interpretation of constitutional and statutory provisions and rules, without deferring to previous legal determinations by the agency. Under the bill, federal courts could overturn some agency decisions that they would have upheld under current law. Some of those decisions could affect federal spending by overturning regulations that affect direct spending, revenues, and spending subject to appropriation. However, CBO has no basis for estimating either the likelihood that such actions would be overturned or what the effects on spending might be.
