What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Depot Data Transparency Act," aims to change how reports on depot-level maintenance are handled. It modifies existing requirements for reports on repair work loads by both public and private sectors. The change specifically focuses on how financial information is presented. Instead of a general percentage, the bill requires the report to include specific dollar amounts. This data must be broken down for each individual covered depot.
