What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Improper Payments Transparency Act," aims to amend title 31 of the United States Code. It focuses on adding specific information regarding improper payments under Federal programs to the President's budget submission. The bill requires executive agencies to provide data on improper payment amounts and rates for their programs and activities. It also mandates narrative descriptions explaining why these payments occur and how they have trended over the previous three years. Additionally, the bill requires agencies to disclose incomplete corrective actions and the steps they will take to address these issues.
