AI Summary

This bill, the Dormant Government Program Accountability Act, requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance that directs federal agencies to annually report on any of their programs or revolving funds that provide federal financial assistance but did not do so in the preceding year. The report must include a list of those dormant programs, an explanation for why they did not provide assistance, and the amount of budget authority available for them. This aims to increase transparency and accountability for government programs that are not actively providing the assistance they are intended to.
