Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act
Orders a federal audit of how states administer federal grant money to spot waste and fraud.
Tradeoff
Requires a detailed report on vulnerabilities in state-run federal programs. No direct spending or cost to states identified in the bill.
What's in it
Costs less than $500,000 over the 2026-2031 period.
The $500,000 is the federal cost to produce GAO audit reports — the policy itself imposes no direct costs on states, localities, or private parties, but creates a federal oversight and reporting requirement.
