Key Points

NASA would have to send any legally required report or notice to the main NASA oversight committees in both the House and Senate.
Those committees must get the same report at the same time as others, or no later than 10 days after NASA sends it elsewhere.
Nonpublic items like spend plans and requests to shift money around would be treated as confidential committee documents and not released publicly.
If the U.S. signs an international space agreement involving NASA, NASA must send Congress a copy within 15 days so lawmakers can review it.
Overall, this is meant to tighten oversight of NASA’s spending and international deals, with more formal rules on who gets information and when.
