Dive Brief:
U.S. Sens. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Jim Banks, R-Ind., introduced a bill on Monday that would require federal agencies to comply with the Build America, Buy America Act for contracted projects funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The proposed legislation, the Build America, Buy America Compliance Act, would mandate that agencies submit annual reports to the Made in America office and Congress detailing their implementation of the BABA Act, according to a one-pager.
The bill would also require agencies to publish their reports in the Federal Register for transparency and accountability. As of May 1, the bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
