Government would review Mid-Atlantic river groups to boost transparency and oversight.
This bill would require the government's watchdog, the Comptroller General, to review three Mid-Atlantic river commissions. The review would check their ethics, how they talk to the public, and their funding. This aims to make these commissions more open and accountable to Congress, with the commissions reporting annually on their progress.
Today, there is no law requiring a comprehensive review of the Mid-Atlantic River Basin Commissions' operations, ethics, or funding. If this bill passes, the Comptroller General would conduct such a review within one year. After that, the commissions would be required to submit an initial plan within 90 days, followed by annual plans for five years, explaining how they are acting on the review's recommendations.
