Bill > S3267

This bill, the MAKE CENTS Act (Making Americans Know about Excessive spending through Commonsense Efforts to Notice and Target Shenanigans Act), has several key provisions: 1. It requires federal agencies to annually report on major projects that are significantly over budget or behind schedule, including details like original cost estimates, current costs, and reasons for delays or cost overruns. 2. It mandates that recipients of federal funds clearly disclose the percentage of project costs funded by the government and the amount of non-governmental funding. 3. It limits the amount of discretionary appropriations that federal agencies can obligate during the last 2 months of a fiscal year, with an exception for national security activities. 4. It suspends pay for members of Congress if they fail to pass a budget resolution and all appropriations bills by the start of the fiscal year on October 1. 5. It prohibits Congress from recessing or adjourning for more than 8 hours if a budget resolution and appropriations bills are not yet passed by certain deadlines, and includes other measures to compel Congress to complete its work.
