SEC. 2. PREPARATION OF JOB IMPACT STUDIES AND REPORTS.

    (a) Preparation of Job Impact Studies.--If any comprehensive health 
care reform legislation (such as the legislation presented by the 
President on October 27, 1993) is passed by the 103d Congress, the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office shall each conduct a study to determine the 
effect of the legislation on the following:
            (1) Job loss and gain.--The number, type, and location (by 
        State) of the jobs that would be lost and gained as a result of 
        implementation of the legislation.
            (2)  Shifts to jobs requiring lesser levels of education or 
        skill.--The size, character, and location (by State) of any 
        shifts that would result from implementation of the 
        legislation--
                    (A) from jobs requiring a high level of education 
                to jobs requiring a lesser level of education; and
                    (B) from jobs requiring a high degree of skill to 
                jobs requiring a lesser degree of skill.
            (3) Shifts from full-time to part-time employment.--The 
        number, type, and location (by State) of any shifts from full-
        time jobs to jobs that are less than full-time that would 
        result from implementation of the legislation.
            (4) Decrease in wages or salaries.--The amount and location 
        (by State) of any decreases in wages or salaries that would 
        result from implementation of the legislation.
    (b) Preparation of Job Impact Reports.--The Director of the Office 
of Management and Budget and the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office shall each prepare a job impact report detailing the findings of 
the study conducted by such Director pursuant to subsection (a), and 
shall submit the report to the Congress and to the President.

SEC. 3. REVIEW OF JOB IMPACT REPORTS BY PRESIDENT BEFORE LEGISLATION 
              TAKES EFFECT.

    Any legislation for which job impact reports are required by 
section 2 shall not take effect until the reports have been completed 
and the President submits to the Congress a written notification--
            (1) stating that the President has reviewed the job impact 
        reports; and
            (2) attesting to the President's knowledge of any job 
        losses and shifts in the types of available jobs that may be 
        predicted by the reports.
