Latest action: Signed by President.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Requires federal agencies to publicly disclose spending details and budget information transparently.
The problem
Federal agencies may keep spending decisions and budget details secret from the public, making it hard for citizens and Congress to know how taxpayer money is used.
The proposal
The bill mandates that federal agencies publish detailed spending information, budget records, and financial transactions publicly so citizens can access and review how government uses money.
The impact
Taxpayers, Congress members, watchdog groups, and the public gain access to federal spending data. Federal agencies must comply with new disclosure requirements and spending transparency rules.
Citizens and Congress can see exactly how federal agencies spend taxpayer money. This transparency helps catch wasteful spending or misuse of funds. It makes government more responsible to the people it serves.
When spending information is public, voters can make better decisions about which leaders and policies to support. Families and organizations can research how their tax dollars are used.
Secret spending creates opportunities for fraud and corruption. Public disclosure of spending details makes it harder to hide illegal or improper use of government money.
When agencies know their spending is public, they may reduce waste and inefficiency. Transparency can encourage agencies to spend money more carefully and effectively.
Some government spending relates to national security, military operations, or classified programs. Requiring full public disclosure might accidentally reveal sensitive information that protects Americans from threats.
Federal agencies need time, money, and staff to organize and publish detailed spending records. The cost of creating new systems and databases could be significant.
Agencies might spend more time preparing disclosures and less time doing their actual work. New reporting requirements could create delays in programs and services.
Detailed spending records might accidentally include names, addresses, or other private information about individuals receiving government benefits or services.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
