This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to produce studies and reports regarding federal spending on children.

The CBO must provide:

  • studies of legislation containing changes in spending on children, upon the request of a congressional committee;
  • an annual report regarding spending on children; and
  • an annual report on the President's budget request for spending on children.

The CBO may provide a warning report to Congress regarding a fiscal year in which outlays for interest on the public debt will exceed spending on children.

The CBO must also develop and maintain a public website that includes:

  • the reports and studies required by this bill,
  • a dashboard containing key indicators and visualization tools to assist the public in understanding trends in spending on children, and
  • an open data portal that contains quantitative data on federal spending on children.
