Government Spending Control: New Rules for Administrative Actions
This act aims to increase accountability for government agencies regarding decisions that could lead to increased public spending. In practice, if an agency proposes an action that would raise costs for taxpayers, it must find ways to offset these expenses through savings elsewhere. This is intended to improve public money management and limit debt growth.
Key points
Government agencies must now propose savings if their new actions increase public spending.
The goal is to control expenditures and improve the nation's financial security.
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget will assess if proposed offsets are sufficient.
