Bill 118 s 4262, also known as the Spend Plan Approval Act, aims to streamline the process of approving spend plans within the federal government. The bill specifically requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to either approve or deny spend plans within a certain timeframe, in order to ensure timely and efficient allocation of funds.
