PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-08-06 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed Depot Data Transparency Act would add dollar figures to an annual report on depot maintenance and repair work performed by the public and private sectors. Alongside percentage reporting, it would require amounts already spent and projected spending to be shown separately for each covered depot.
This Act may be cited as the Depot Data Transparency Act.
Modification to annual report on depot level maintenance and repair work loads by public and private sectors
(1) by striking each Defense Agency, the percentage and inserting each Defense Agency— (A) the percentage
(B) the dollar amount of such expended and projected funds, respectively, disaggregated by covered depot.
Section 2 would amend the existing reporting requirement in title 10, section 2466(d)(1), by placing its percentage reporting language in subparagraph (A) and adding dollar reporting in subparagraph (B). The new requirement concerns reporting spent and projected funds; it does not direct that those projected amounts be spent.
