Full Transparency for Federal Spending During National Emergencies.

This bill mandates that all federal funds spent during declared national emergencies (like pandemics or disasters) must be reported publicly with the same detail as regular federal spending. Citizens will gain full visibility into how much money was appropriated, obligated, and exactly what programs received the funds during crises. This aims to enhance government accountability and allow the public to track emergency spending effectively.
Key points
All spending related to national emergencies must be publicly disclosed in detail, including appropriated, obligated, and unobligated amounts.
The government must use unique identifiers for emergency funds, making it easier to track the money and ensuring greater transparency.
Citizens gain a tool to monitor whether crisis funds are spent efficiently and as intended, increasing public oversight of state finances.
