This bill, the Fighting Budget Waste Act, would change a section of federal law (title 31, section 1105). It directs the President and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to consider the most recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report titled "Additional Opportunities to Reduce Fragmentation, Overlap, and Duplication and Achieve Billions of Dollars in Financial Benefits" (or any successor report) when preparing the annual budget. The bill also requires the OMB Director to send a report to Congress on the Office's findings about those GAO recommendations on the date the budget is submitted.
The bill does not itself change tax rates, program benefits, or spending levels. It requires federal budget makers to review and consider a specific GAO report and to tell Congress what they found about that report when they send the annual budget.
No publicly available information on costs or savings is included in the bill text. The bill text does not provide a budget estimate or specify funding to carry out the new reporting requirement.
No publicly available information on supporters' written statements is included in the bill text or metadata. The bill title and text indicate supporters want budget makers to consider GAO recommendations aimed at reducing fragmentation, overlap, and duplication and to report findings to Congress.
No publicly available information on opponents' views is included in the bill text or metadata.
