State Department Must Disclose Costs of Producing Reports.
This law requires the Department of State to disclose how much it costs to prepare reports for Congress and other external entities. The goal is to provide the estimated total cost and the number of personnel hours spent on these administrative tasks. This aims to increase transparency regarding public spending and improve oversight of how taxpayer money is used.
Key points
The State Department must include the estimated cost and personnel hours for every external report produced (starting October 2026).
An annual report summarizing the total costs and time spent on all reports for the prior fiscal year must be submitted to Congress.
