The "Preventive Health Savings Act" amends Section 202 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to enhance the scoring of preventive health initiatives. Upon request from leadership of relevant House or Senate committees, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) must determine if proposed legislation would lead to net reductions in budget outlays through the use of preventive health care . If such reductions are identified, the CBO Director is required to include a detailed description and estimate of these savings in any projection prepared for the legislation. These estimates specifically focus on " budgetary outyears ," defined as two consecutive 10-year periods beginning 10 years after the current fiscal year, and the Director may prepare projections for these extended timeframes. It is crucial to note that any estimates provided by the Director regarding preventive health savings are intended as supplementary information . These projections cannot be used to determine compliance with the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 or any other budgetary enforcement controls, ensuring they inform but do not dictate budget compliance. The bill also provides a broad definition for 'preventive health care,' encompassing actions that protect, promote, and maintain health and prevent disease, supported by credible evidence.
