HR 3901 United States House · 118th Congress

Agency Subpoena Compliance Act

HR 3901, the Agency Subpoena Compliance Act, requires federal agencies to comply with congressional subpoenas or face potential funding reductions. It mandates the President to annually report to Congress on agency subpoena compliance, triggering committee hearings to review each case. If an agency ignores a valid subpoena, the committees may propose a 0.5% funding cut in the next year's budget for each ignored subpoena. Agencies failing to submit the required report on time risk a 2% annual budget cut for each week of delay. This bill directly affects all federal agencies covered by annual budget bills.
