Sponsored by James Lankford (R)

Taxpayer Resources Used in Emergencies Accountability Act

Would have required federal agencies to plan ahead for fraud and waste in future emergencies.

Tradeoff

Would have required agencies to build fraud and waste controls before emergency money goes out. Would have added no new money to carry out the plans.

What's in it

See official bill text

CBO estimates negligible net changes in direct spending and no effect on revenues; the effect was not estimated.

The negligible cost figure reflects only the modest paperwork and planning work for OMB and agencies, while the bill's real impact is on how agencies prepare for fraud during emergencies.
