Federal agencies would report projects that are more than five years late or at least $1 billion over budget after inflation. The White House budget office would publish one report each year for Congress and the public.
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.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that manage very late or costly projects. It also affects the companies and grant recipients working on those projects because their names and payments may become public. Congress and the public would gain one place to review the largest delays and cost increases.
Why this matters: Huge delays and cost increases can waste taxpayer money and slow services, construction, or cleanup work. Today, information about these projects may sit in separate agency records. This bill would put the largest problems in one public report. That could help people spot patterns and ask better questions, but the bill does not require agencies to fix or cancel any project.
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.
