Bill Summary

A BILL To require adequate traceability for expenditures by the Federal Government.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Locating Every Disbursement in Government Expenditure Records Act (LEDGER Act), requires the Secretary of the Treasury to establish a comprehensive tracking system for all government expenditures within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The system will monitor financial outlays from every appropriation, receipt, and fund account across all branches of the United States Government (executive, legislative, and judicial). Specifically, the tracking mechanism will document disbursements from each government department, agency, and office, including details about the period of availability for the funds in each account. By mandating this enhanced financial transparency, the bill aims to improve the traceability and accountability of federal spending, allowing for more precise monitoring of how and when government funds are used. The proposed system would be added as a new section (§ 3517) to existing federal financial tracking regulations in Title 31 of the United States Code, which governs federal financial management.
