Eligible agencies are to brief Congress within 60 days on whether they will use the authority
What the document says“shall brief the appropriate committees of Congress on whether that Federal agency plans to make awards pursuant to the authority provided under such paragraph (3), including the reasons why the Federal agency plans to, or does not plan to, use that authority.”
Subsection (c)(2) sets a one time briefing. No later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the head of each Federal agency eligible to make an award from a strategic breakthrough allocation briefs the committees named in subsection (c)(1). The briefing covers whether the agency plans to make awards under the new paragraph (3), and the reasons it does or does not plan to use the authority. The Act was approved on April 13, 2026.
What the document actually says“shall brief the appropriate committees of Congress on whether that Federal agency plans to make awards pursuant to the authority provided under such paragraph (3), including the reasons why the Federal agency plans to, or does not plan to, use that authority.”
The head of the agency must tell Congress its plans. It must say if it will hand out these awards. It must give its reasons either way.
This is due 60 days after the law was signed. The law was signed on April 13, 2026. An agency that says no still has to explain.
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.
