No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The federal government's top auditor would gain the legal right to access state government records and documents when conducting audits, investigations, and evaluations. This would allow the Comptroller General to examine state-level spending and programs more thoroughly to identify waste, fraud, or inefficiency. The change affects state officials and agencies that currently control access to their own records during federal oversight activities.
