What it does
The bill amends the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to require that other transaction agreements be reported on USAspending.gov.
The bill amends the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to require that other transaction agreements be reported on USAspending.gov. Section 2 adds other transaction agreements to the Federal awards that must be reported and directs that, within three years of enactment, the data be automatically transmitted to the website with a centralized view. It also requires the Secretary of the Treasury, within one year of enactment and annually after, to post a report of the total Federal award spending not yet on the website and the reason it is missing. Section 2 further sets an implementation plan: if the automated system is not live one year after enactment, the Secretary must publish a report listing and describing all other transaction agreements entered into by relevant agencies for the prior fiscal year, and if it is not live two years after enactment, the Secretary must submit a plan to Congress on incorporating the data by year three. Section 3 sets inspector general reporting deadlines, adds completeness and accuracy requirements and display standards for posted data, and directs the Secretary to determine which Federal agencies and components must post spending information, publish a list of them, and notify each one. Section 4 directs the Comptroller General to recommend any advisable updates to a Federal Acquisition Regulation clause; that section does not amend the 2006 Act.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 1 quarterly report filed by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
