Comprehensive NASA Reporting Act of 2025
NASA: Faster and Broader Reporting to Congress
Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
Legislative Progress
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.
