The ORG CHART Act requires federal agencies to create and maintain clear organizational charts showing how their offices, leadership positions, and functions are structured. Within one year of the law's passage, the Office of Management and Budget must issue guidance directing agencies to document their leadership hierarchy, including job titles, whether positions are vacant or filled by an acting official, and links to related information already required under existing law. Agencies must post this organizational information on their websites and include it in their annual budget materials, and the information must stay consistent with other workforce data the government publishes. To protect privacy and security, agencies generally won't have to list officials' names unless those officials are Senate-confirmed or agree to be named, and no contact information or detailed location data is required. About a year after the guidance is issued, the Government Accountability Office must report to Congress on how well the new system is working, including whether the data is accurate and useful and what improvements might be needed. The law does not authorize any new funding, meaning agencies must implement these changes using existing resources.
