Next up: The Senate

The House passed this bill in June 2026, and it is now waiting for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to review it. The bill is not moving forward at this time because the Senate has not scheduled any action since June 8, 2026. It is common for bills that pass the House to stall in the Senate.

The bill has support from both parties and focuses on saving money, which is usually popular. However, many oversight bills like this struggle to get a full vote in a busy schedule.

Key Points

This bill requires the government to create a High Risk List of federal programs managed by state and local governments. It focuses on finding which programs are most likely to lose money to waste, fraud, or poor management.
The GAO will look at existing audits and reports from state and federal investigators to find patterns of problems. They will also look for best practices that successful programs use to keep money safe.
Many federal programs, like healthcare or infrastructure projects, are actually run by states. This bill aims to protect taxpayer dollars by highlighting where the system is broken and offering solutions to fix it.
The first list would be due within two years of the bill becoming law. It uses existing data, so it focuses on better organization rather than starting expensive new investigations from scratch.
