Federal Spending Accountability: Blocking Funds for Non-Compliant Recipients.

This bill establishes new rules to ensure that organizations and companies failing to comply with federal grant or contract terms cannot receive new government money. Federal agencies must report suspensions or terminations of funding to the central budget office, which will maintain a public list of these non-compliant entities. The goal is to protect taxpayer money and enforce greater accountability in the use of public funds.
Key points
Government agencies must report when they suspend grants or contracts due to recipients breaking rules or laws.
The central budget office (OMB) will maintain a public list of organizations that have lost funding due to non-compliance.
Organizations on this list are generally blocked from receiving new federal funds until they fix the reason for their suspension.
The changes aim to increase transparency and improve the management of taxpayer dollars.
