Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025
H.R. 2069, sponsored by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), requires federal agencies to report spending on other transaction agreements (OTAs—a type of contract that is exempt from standard procurement rules) on the USAspending.gov website, the same way they report spending on grants, loans, and standard contracts. The Treasury Department must automatically transmit this OTA spending data to the website and publish an annual report showing total federal spending that has not been posted and reasons for the gaps. For 10 years after the bill becomes law, inspectors general at specified federal agencies must submit periodic reports to Congress and the public assessing their spending data and compliance with data standards. The bill was signed into law on September 11, 2026.
