H.R. 7113 would rename the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to the "China Budget Office." The bill, introduced in January 2026, is straightforward in its approach: it redesignates the agency and updates all references to it in federal law, regulations, and official documents to reflect the new name. This affects Congress's primary source of independent fiscal and budget analysis, which currently serves lawmakers across both chambers by analyzing the costs and effects of proposed legislation. The bill contains no funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the effective date of enactment. It appears to be a symbolic measure rather than a substantive change to the agency's mission, structure, or operations.
