This bill would change the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It amends section 1016. The bill adds a new subsection (b) that says the Comptroller General may not bring a civil action under the Act unless Congress has enacted a concurrent resolution authorizing the Comptroller General to bring that civil action. It also adjusts wording in the existing text to make the civil-action authority subject to that congressional approval.
If this bill becomes law, the Comptroller General must have a concurrent resolution from Congress before starting a civil lawsuit under the Impoundment Control Act. No publicly available information on other direct effects for individuals.
