Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025
What does the Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025 do?
HR 2069 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL-1). USAspending.gov is the searchable public website created by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), where Federal agencies post data on Federal awards such as grants and contracts. This bill adds "other transaction agreements" to FFATA's definition of a covered Federal award and requires the Secretary of the Treasury to ensure that, within 3 years of enactment, OTA data is automatically transmitted to the website with a centralized view available; it also requires an annual report identifying Federal spending not posted to the site and the reasons why, and a published list of the Federal agencies required to post information.
