HR 3733 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 to provide Members of Congress with access on a real-time basis to updated information about Federal awards and with access to information on payments made to individual recipients of Federal assistance and Federal employees, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act to create a separate, real-time federal spending database accessible only to Members of Congress. The database would provide Members with current information about federal awards and payments made to individual recipients of federal assistance and federal employees, expanding beyond the publicly available information which typically includes only organizational recipients. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget must establish this Members-only portal within six months of the bill's enactment. The database would be updated in real time for Congressional access, unlike the public version.
