Cabinet officials must report their use of federal jets every three months.

What it does

The bill tells the Government Accountability Office to publish reports four times a year. The reports show how 28 top officials use federal planes. The reports say which flights were for politics or personal reasons. They also say if trips could have cost less another way. The reports will be public but will not show where officials are right now.

Who it affects

Citizens and Congress can see how senior officials use federal planes. The 28 covered officials are the President, Vice President, Cabinet secretaries, and agency heads.

One thing to notice

The bill does not say what happens if an official misuses a federal plane. It only requires reports to be made public.
