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 establish a national task force to investigate and combat fraud involving Federal dollars.
Summary
This bill establishes the Federal Fraud Interagency Task Force to investigate and combat fraud involving Federal dollars and coordinate anti-fraud efforts across the Federal government. The President must appoint a Director with at least 10 years of fraud investigation or Federal law enforcement experience, and members from designated Federal agencies who are subject matter experts in fraud detection, financial management, or related fields. The covered agencies include major Federal departments such as Defense, Health and Human Services, Education, Veterans Affairs, and others that the President may designate. The Task Force will investigate fraud allegations, coordinate with state and local law enforcement, develop best practices and training programs, and facilitate data sharing among agencies to detect and prevent fraud. The Director must submit annual reports to Congress detailing investigations, prosecutions, recovered funds, and fraud trends, and the Government Accountability Office must conduct annual audits of the Task Force operations and spending.
