Government Spending Oversight Act of 2024

The Government Spending Oversight Act of 2024 would create a new Government Spending Oversight Committee to monitor how federal agencies use billions in pandemic relief, infrastructure, and climate funding, including money from the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and Inflation Reduction Act. The committee, staffed by inspectors general from various departments, would work to detect fraud, waste, and mismanagement by analyzing data, conducting reviews, and making recommendations to agencies. It would issue regular reports to Congress and the public about oversight findings, maintain a public website for transparency, and coordinate with existing oversight bodies. This committee would directly affect agencies receiving covered funds, including those managing programs from the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan, and other major spending acts.
