What this bill would do

This bill aims to amend the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. The primary goal is to change the timeline for when federal award information must be made available to the public. Currently, the law allows for a 30-day window after a federal award is made. This amendment would shorten that period significantly. It seeks to ensure the public has real-time access to information regarding federal awards.
