Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to better track and manage the software it owns and uses across all agencies, similar to how a company might keep inventory of its tools and equipment. This would help reduce waste, prevent agencies from buying duplicate software licenses, and improve cybersecurity by ensuring outdated or unsupported programs are replaced more quickly. The bill aims to save taxpayer money and make government operations more efficient by giving agencies clearer rules for managing their software assets.
