Stop Secret Spending Act of 2024
The Stop Secret Spending Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to assign unique identifiers to certain contracts (called "other transaction agreements") and post related data publicly within 90 days of the law's enactment. It mandates annual reports on unreported federal spending, detailing total amounts, spending categories (like national security work), and reasons for non-disclosure (e.g., classified projects or legislative branch contracts). These reports must be published on a public website, with the first report due one year after the law takes effect. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for managing these contracts, aiming to increase transparency around funding that currently lacks public visibility.
