AI Summary

This bill, the Federal Small Businesses Contractor Prompt Payment Reporting Act, requires each federal agency to report to Congress on the timeliness of payments made to prime contractors that are small businesses or that subcontract with small businesses. The report must include the date the agency began providing accelerated payments, the amount and percentage of covered contracts with accelerated payment terms, and whether the agency has discontinued implementation of the Office of Management and Budget's policy on accelerating payments to small businesses. The key terms are "covered prime contractor" (a small business prime contractor or one that subcontracts with a small business) and "covered contract" (a contract entered into on or after August 13, 2018 for Department of Defense contracts or December 20, 2019 for other federal contracts).
