Summary of Bill HR 10289

Bill 118 hr 10289, also known as the Distribution Analysis Act, aims to amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The main purpose of this bill is to require a distribution analysis of a bill or resolution under certain circumstances. This means that before a bill or resolution can be passed, it must undergo an analysis to determine how it will impact different groups or demographics within the population.

The bill also includes provisions for other purposes, which could include additional requirements for transparency and accountability in the legislative process. This could potentially lead to a more informed decision-making process for lawmakers and the public.

Overall, the Distribution Analysis Act seeks to ensure that the potential impacts of legislation are thoroughly examined before being enacted, with the goal of promoting fairness and equity in the distribution of benefits and burdens among the American people.
