Border Wall Waste Accountability Act
The Border Wall Waste Accountability Act requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the total cost of unused construction materials purchased for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. The GAO must submit this report to Congress within 90 days of the bill's enactment. This procedural bill does not alter border wall construction or policy but mandates a cost analysis of unutilized materials for congressional review. It directly affects Congress by providing data on potential financial inefficiencies related to border wall materials.
