STEP Act

Bill 118 s 2924, also known as the Safeguarding the Transparency and Efficiency of Payments Act, aims to increase transparency and efficiency in the payment systems used by the US Congress. The bill requires all payments made by Congress to be disclosed to the public in a timely manner, including the purpose of the payment and the recipient. This information will be made available on a publicly accessible website for easy access by the American people.

Additionally, the bill seeks to streamline the payment process by implementing electronic payment systems and reducing the use of paper checks. This will not only save time and resources, but also reduce the risk of fraud and errors in the payment system.

Overall, the Safeguarding the Transparency and Efficiency of Payments Act is designed to promote accountability and efficiency in the way Congress handles payments. By increasing transparency and streamlining the payment process, the bill aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly and effectively.
