AI Summary
This bill, the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2021, requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to submit an annual report to Congress on projects that are over budget and behind schedule. The report must include details on each "covered project," which is defined as a project funded by a federal agency that is more than 5 years behind schedule or has cost at least $1 billion more than the original estimate. The report must provide information such as the project's purpose, location, timeline, cost estimates, reasons for delays or cost increases, and any bonuses awarded. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability for large, expensive federal projects that fail to meet their original goals.
