This bill amends federal transparency law to give Members of Congress real-time access to detailed information about federal spending and payments. Currently, the public website USASpending.gov provides data on federal grants and contracts, but with delays in updates. The legislation creates a separate, members-only portal allowing senators and representatives to instantly see which individuals and federal employees receive federal assistance and payments—information not currently disclosed to the public. The Office of Management and Budget must establish this new access portal within six months of the bill's enactment. The measure does not specify new funding but effectively requires government officials to maintain real-time spending data exclusively for congressional use.
