## Summary

**This bill would require the U.S. Government Accountability Office to review certain high-value settlements between the Executive Branch and large law firms for possible violations of the Miscellaneous Receipts Act.** It targets arrangements tied to executive actions and sets a $1 million value floor and a Feb 1 to Apr 30, 2025 window for review. - Large law firms would face GAO scrutiny when an arrangement provides more than $1 million in legal services and was entered between Feb 1 and Apr 30, 2025. - Executive Branch officials, including the President, would have post-action or contemporaneous settlements examined to determine whether payments may breach the Miscellaneous Receipts Act. - Congress and the public would get a GAO report within 180 days after enactment so they can assess compliance and consider follow-up oversight or remedies.
