Stop Secret Spending Act of 2024
The Stop Secret Spending Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to increase transparency around certain spending. It mandates that agencies create unique identifiers for "other transaction agreements" (special contracts) within 90 days and publish an annual report detailing unreported spending, including reasons like national security concerns or spending by legislative/judicial branches. This affects all federal agencies and components required to post spending data on the public website. The law also adds new rules to ensure posted data is complete, accurate, and displayed consistently, with agencies needing to be formally listed as required reporters within a year.
