HR 144 United States House · 119th Congress

Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act

This bill requires the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to publicly report the names, salaries, and duties of all management-level employees (including executives and board members) earning at or above the GS-15 federal pay grade. It replaces previous financial reporting requirements with this specific compensation disclosure. The report is exempt from standard public disclosure laws (like the Freedom of Information Act) and the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act. This directly affects TVA leadership and board members at the specified pay level, mandating transparency while limiting public access to the disclosed data.
