Tax Dollar Accountability Act

This bill would require any state, local government, or municipality that receives federal money, directly or indirectly, to give the Comptroller General of the United States (head of the Government Accountability Office) access to its budget, financial records, expenditure reports, contracts, grants, subgrants, and other documents on request. The access would be for auditing, investigating, or evaluating how federal funds are received, spent, and managed. Each state receiving federal funds would also have to provide access to these records for the previous fiscal year within 120 days after each fiscal year ends. If a state does not provide access, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget could withhold, suspend, or place conditions on federal funds to that state until it does.
