Agency Accountability through Appropriations Act
12/15/2023, 3:59 PMSummary of Bill HR 4114
Bill 118 hr 4114, also known as the Agency Accountability through Appropriations Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to increase accountability and transparency within federal agencies by tying their funding to their performance.Under this bill, federal agencies would be required to submit detailed reports on their activities and outcomes to Congress on a regular basis. These reports would be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the agency's programs and services, and to determine whether they are meeting their goals and objectives.
In addition, the bill would establish a system of performance metrics and benchmarks that agencies would be required to meet in order to receive full funding. If an agency fails to meet these benchmarks, their funding could be reduced or withheld until they demonstrate improvement. Supporters of the bill argue that it will help to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent efficiently and effectively, and that federal agencies are held accountable for their actions. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the potential for political interference in agency funding decisions, and the possibility that agencies could be unfairly penalized for factors beyond their control. Overall, the Agency Accountability through Appropriations Act represents an effort to increase oversight and accountability within the federal government, and to ensure that agencies are operating in the best interests of the American people.
