Depot Data Transparency Act

Key Points

• This bill changes how the military reports its spending on major repairs for equipment like planes and tanks. Right now, the government only reports the total percentage of work done by private companies versus government shops for each branch of the military.
• Under this new rule, the military would have to list the exact dollar amounts spent and planned for the future at every single maintenance facility. This would let the public see exactly how much money is going to specific locations.
• The change aims to make military spending more transparent for local communities. It helps people see if their local repair shops are getting enough work or if the government is shifting money to other places.
