Bill 119 HR 326, also known as the "Construction Materials Study Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of unused construction materials for the border wall along the United States-Mexico border. The bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study to determine the total cost of these unused materials.

The purpose of the study is to provide transparency and accountability regarding the costs associated with these unused materials. By understanding the total cost of these materials, lawmakers can better assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the border wall construction project. Overall, Bill 119 HR 326 seeks to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used effectively and efficiently in the construction of the border wall.
