Federal agencies would have to report their biggest late or over-budget projects each year. Congress and the public would see the results, though sensitive details could remain classified.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate. Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 467.
Latest action on H.R. 1722: Received in the Senate. Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 467.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that run very large projects and the companies or grant recipients doing the work. Agency staff would have to gather and update detailed records each year. Congress and the public would gain a clearer view of projects with severe delays or higher costs.
Why this matters: The public does not always have one clear place to find the federal government's biggest project failures. This bill would show which major projects are years late or at least $1 billion over budget. That information could shape budgets, oversight, and future project rules. It is not clear whether reporting alone would lower costs or speed up work.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
