What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over 2026-2031 in federal administrative expenses.

The less-than-$500K figure is just the federal cost to implement new data reporting requirements and standards — the bill's real impact is a transparency mandate requiring federal agencies to publish more complete spending information online.
