Citizens can expect their money to be spent more wisely, and the government to operate more effectively.
Key points
Requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to analyze new bills for duplication with existing federal programs.
Information on potential duplication will be publicly available on the GAO website, increasing government transparency.
Aims to reduce waste and increase the efficiency of public spending by avoiding the creation of unnecessary programs.
