Bill 118 hr 2529, also known as the Public Service Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability within the public service sector in the United States. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 15, 2021, by Representative John Smith.
The main provisions of the bill include requiring all federal agencies to publish detailed reports on their spending, hiring practices, and performance metrics on a quarterly basis.

This committee would have the authority to investigate any instances of fraud, waste, or abuse within the public service sector and make recommendations for improvement. Overall, the Public Service Transparency Act seeks to promote greater accountability and efficiency within the federal government by ensuring that agencies are held accountable for their actions and that taxpayers have access to important information about how their money is being spent. The bill is currently awaiting further review and consideration by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
