The DECLINE Act would require each federal agency to create a charge-card deactivation policy within 30 days of enactment. When an employee leaves an agency, the policy must require the employee to return the card and remove it from digital wallets, and agency staff to secure and deactivate it, close or suspend its account, and report it as invalid to the card issuer. The Comptroller General would report to congressional committees each year on card use, agency controls, implementation, late fees, and agency management reports.
Employees leaving an agency would need to return their assigned government charge cards and remove them from digital wallets or agency-issued devices. The bill also covers former employees who held certain senior or policy-related positions. It does not describe effects on the general public.
The bill does not specify implementation costs or funding. It would require annual reports that include agency charge-card late fees.
