Became Law

Summary

This law strengthens federal agency performance reviews by requiring regular, evidence-based checks of each agency strategic goal and clearer public summaries of those findings.

Show full summary
  • Agency leaders and program managers must run at least annual reviews for every covered goal. Reviews must assess progress, likelihood of success, risks, and identify improvement strategies for goals at greatest risk.
  • Performance, data, evaluation, and program management officials must be continuously involved. The law names roles like the Performance Improvement Officer and Chief Data Officer as sustained contributors to those reviews.
  • Public reporting and oversight get tighter. Agencies must include the review findings in the required summary report under the statute, making those assessments part of official public disclosures.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Stronger agency goal reviews and public results

Agencies now review each strategic goal at least once a year and include a summary in their performance report. Reviews check progress, risks, needed evidence, and fixes for goals at greatest risk. The federal performance website shows quarterly results and trends for 2-year agency and 4-year government goals, and keeps an archive. The site meets modern website standards, and these rules apply now. Each government-wide priority goal names at least two joint leads, updates in the first year of a presidential term, appears with the first full-year budget, and cites supporting budget items.

Old federal pilot programs repealed

The law deletes sections 1118 and 1119 of title 31 and removes those pilot project authorities. It also strikes subsection (c) of section 9704 and redesignates the next subsection. These changes take effect upon enactment and mainly affect how agencies manage programs, not household benefits.
