REACT Act
HR 504, the REACT Act, requires federal agencies to provide information to congressional committees more quickly and with fewer members needing to request it. Specifically, committees (or as few as 7 House members or 5 Senate members) can now formally request agency data, and agencies must respond within 45 days (or a shorter deadline set by the committee). If an agency fails to comply, the committee (or its specified members) can seek court action for enforcement. This bill directly affects federal agencies and congressional committees by streamlining information requests and strengthening oversight authority.
