Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
TVA would report top salaries
This bill would require the Tennessee Valley Authority to file a pay report for senior staff. It would cover managers, executives, and board members paid at or above the maximum basic pay for GS-15. The report would list each covered person’s name, salary, and duties, plus the total number of management-level employees. TVA would send the report to Congress.
TVA salary report shielded from FOIA
This bill would make the salary details in that TVA report confidential to the public. Those pay details would be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act and the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act. This would limit journalists, researchers, and the public from getting those pay figures.
