Summary

H.R. 6080 would make no substantive changes to federal law.  Rather, the bill would improve the efficiency of the manner in which federal law is codified by making numerous technical and clerical changes to titles of U.S. Code that address public contracts. 

Cost

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that enacting H.R. 6080 would have no significant impact on the federal budget.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
