Assessments
The verified commitment was to co-lead a bipartisan House Budget Committee budget-process reform effort that would convene participants to examine alternatives to the current process. Verified evidence shows Chairman Arrington, Ranking Member Brendan Boyle, and the task force chair held a Member Day Hearing to solicit reform ideas and received testimony from 11 Members of Congress. Because Boyle is specifically named as holding the hearing in his committee leadership role, the delivery is materially attributable to him and occurred in the same term.
Boyle, as House Budget Committee ranking member, jointly launched a bipartisan budget-process reform initiative with Chairman Jodey Arrington in June 2023, explicitly to convene members, stakeholders, and experts to examine alternatives to the congressional budget process. The effort produced a formal Member Day hearing in December 2023 and later a bipartisan budget-process-related bill, the CBO Data Sharing Act, became law in September 2024. Because the promise focused on leading a bipartisan reform effort and convening meetings to examine alternatives, not necessarily passing comprehensive budget-process reform, the available evidence supports full delivery in the same federal term.
