What it does
The bill tells the Pentagon to add new facts to its yearly report. Right now the report shows only percentages of work done by each part. The bill says it must also show dollar amounts for each repair shop. This lets Congress and the public see where repair money goes.
Who it affects
Congress and the public get clearer facts about Pentagon spending. Repair shops must report their spending in more detail.
One thing to notice
The bill makes spending data public at the shop level instead of only at the part level. This lets Congress and the public see which shops get more or less money.
