A Review of CBO’s Activities in 2007 Under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, March 2008.

  • “The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 19951 (UMRA) established procedures for providing information to the Congress about the effects of legislative provisions on state, local, and tribal governments and on private entities. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is required
    to estimate whether the direct costs of intergovernmental and private-sector mandates contained in legislative proposals exceed statutory thresholds, which were set for 1996 at $50 million for intergovernmental mandates and $100 million for private-sector mandates. In 2007, those thresholds, which are adjusted annually for inflation, were $66 million and $131 million, respectively.”
