Dossier Legislative introduced 29-oct-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To rename the Office of Technology Assessment as the Congressional Office of Technology, to revise the functions and duties of the Office, and for other purposes.

Key claim: A House bill would rename Congress’s Office of Technology Assessment as the Congressional Office of Technology and update that office’s functions and duties.

Abstract

(HR10946 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-10-29): Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.

Why this matters

The Office of Technology Assessment, defunded in 1995, has been a recurring target for revival as Congress seeks in-house technical expertise on AI, biotech, and emerging tech policy. Renaming and reauthorizing it as the Congressional Office of Technology would signal a modernized mandate, but introduction-stage bills of this type rarely advance without appropriations backing.
