A Technology Modernization Fund proposal requires notice
What the document says“None of the funds provided to the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act may be used by an agency to submit an initial project proposal to the Technology Modernization Fund”
Section 532(a). No money may be used to send an initial project proposal to the Technology Modernization Fund unless, at the same time, the agency head notifies both Appropriations Committees, sends them a copy of the proposal and explains how the funding would supplement or supplant what the department already asked for. Subsection (b) holds any money the department receives from the Fund until 15 days after a report on it goes to the Committees, and subsection (c) lists what that report must contain.
What the document actually says“None of the funds provided to the Department of Homeland Security in this or any prior Act may be used by an agency to submit an initial project proposal to the Technology Modernization Fund”
No money may be used to ask a tech fund for a project. Not unless Congress gets the same papers at once.
The fund lends money for new computer systems. Congress wants the request and a repayment plan. Money from the fund waits 15 days.
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.
