Section 748 of division E requires the President, or the head of the relevant department or agency, to report immediately to Congress all relevant facts and a statement of actions taken in the event of a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. A copy must go to the Appropriations Committees of both chambers and to the Comptroller General on the same day.

What this is about

A report must go to Congress at once. It gives the facts and what was done. Copies go to the money committees and to a watchdog.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
