The U.S. House of Representatives has passed several significant pieces of legislation aimed at improving transparency and accountability across various federal operations. Notably, the House approved a bill sponsored by Rep. Gerry Connolly, which mandates the U.S. Postal Service to enhance tracking and reporting of accidents involving its trucking contractors, including penalties for non-reporting. This legislation, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, is in response to numerous fatalities in such accidents, emphasizing the need for better oversight and accountability. Additionally, the House passed the GSA Technology Accountability Act, introduced by Rep. Pete Sessions, by unanimous consent to ensure better oversight of technology projects within the General Services Administration, aiming to safeguard taxpayer dollars. Another bill, introduced by Rep. Lisa McClain, demands that federal agencies use the most current data when formulating new regulations and mandates public citation of data sources, passed with a bipartisan vote.
