Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the CARES Act to extend the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee through December 31, 2026, and to change the name of such Committee to the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Committee, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), which was originally established under the CARES Act to oversee pandemic-related government spending, by renaming it the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Committee and extending its operational timeline from September 30, 2025, to December 31, 2026. The bill makes several technical amendments to update references to the committee, including changing statutory citations from the Inspector General Act to corresponding sections in title 5 of the United States Code and adding the word "Government" to a reference to "Reform". The legislation ensures that all existing references to the PRAC in federal laws, executive orders, regulations, and other documents will now automatically refer to the new Fraud Prevention and Accountability Committee. This extension and renaming appears designed to continue oversight of government spending and fraud prevention efforts beyond the initial pandemic response period, signaling an ongoing commitment to financial accountability and transparency in government expenditures.
