What it does
The bill requires the Comptroller General to publish a yearly report. It names every grant, its purpose, amount, and who got it. Grant recipients must file detailed reports within 3 months after their project ends. Reports must show how money was spent on salaries, subcontractors, program costs, and leftover funds. Organizations that do not report cannot get grants in the future.
Who it affects
Citizens and elected officials can see how grant money is spent. Grant recipients, nonprofits, and local groups must file detailed reports. Companies hired to do part of the work may have their names and pay made public.
One thing to notice
The bill blocks grant recipients who miss reporting deadlines from getting future grants. The bill does not say what happens if the agency's own reports are late or incomplete.
