Bill > S3011

This bill, the Bolster Accountability to Drive Government Efficiency and Reform Washington Act of 2016, aims to enhance the Federal Government's accountability, efficiency, transparency, and overall effectiveness. Key provisions include establishing a Federal Real Property Reform Board to identify opportunities for reducing the government's real estate inventory and costs, improving property management strategies through a Federal Property Council, and clarifying how proceeds from property sales are handled. The bill also seeks to improve the accuracy and use of death data to prevent improper payments, reduce government program duplication, enhance whistleblower protections for federal employees and contractors, and reform administrative leave policies. Additionally, it strengthens the authority and oversight capabilities of Inspectors General and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), limits wasteful federal bonuses, prohibits government funding for portraits, modernizes presidential allowances, and mandates better management of software licenses. Finally, it aims to improve construction procurement processes and provides enhanced protections for employees who report waste, fraud, and abuse.
