Section 108(a). The Inspector General must report every quarter on oversight of the money the department was given in Public Law 119-21. Subsection (b) requires each report to review the spend plans for every program funded under that law, comparing obligations against projections, and to summarize the audits under way on the department's contracting and procurement. Subsection (c) adds an annual comprehensive report, starting one year after enactment, with recommendations on preventing waste, fraud and abuse.

That sentence, in plain words

Four times a year the watchdog must report to Congress. The subject is money the department got from an earlier law.

What this is about

That earlier law gave the department a large sum. This asks how it is being spent. The reports compare plans against real spending.

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.
