Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would end the authority of the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit and review the District of Columbia government. It would remove D.C. from the federal law's definition of agencies the GAO oversees, repeal the GAO's annual audit of D.C., and remove D.C. from GAO program evaluations and reports. It would also change the District of Columbia Home Rule Act so that D.C. no longer sends certain budget, performance, and financial accountability plans and reports to the Comptroller General. It would end GAO's evaluation of those reports and its annual audits of D.C. debt service payments.
