Federal Agencies Must Report Advertising Spending with Minority and Women-Owned Businesses.
This law increases transparency by requiring federal executive agencies to publicly report their spending on advertising services. Crucially, they must detail how much of that money goes specifically to small businesses owned by women, minorities, and those considered socially or economically disadvantaged. This ensures citizens can track how taxpayer funds are distributed among diverse businesses.
Key points
Federal agencies must disclose total expenditures on all advertising contracts in their annual budget reports.
Reports must specifically track funds allocated to advertising contracts with women-owned, minority-owned, and disadvantaged small businesses.
The new reporting requirements will take effect starting with the Fiscal Year 2027 budget reports.
