S 709 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Federal Agency Performance Act of 2024

The Federal Agency Performance Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to conduct annual reviews of progress toward strategic goals, with agency leaders assessing risks and identifying improvement strategies. It mandates that agencies publicly report quarterly performance data and long-term trends toward these goals, updating the Federal Performance website with more detailed information. The bill also requires federal government priority goals to be updated during the first year of each presidential term and made public alongside budget submissions, while establishing co-leadership roles for each goal. This legislation affects all federal agencies, the Office of Management and Budget (which will issue implementation guidance), and the Comptroller General (who must report on the Act's effectiveness within 18 months).
