Summary

This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to implement a system that tracks all federal government expenditures by appropriation, fund, and department or agency within 180 days of enactment. The tracking system must record which executive, legislative, or judicial branch department, agency, office, or other establishment receives funds from each appropriation, receipt, or fund account in the Treasury. The system must also track the period of availability for the amounts in each appropriation or fund account. This requirement applies to all federal disbursements, including those subject to existing federal disbursement requirements.
