Plain-English Summary

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to maintain detailed documentation and follow specific procedures when purchasing or developing major equipment and technology systems. This would help ensure that large spending projects are properly tracked, justified, and managed effectively, protecting taxpayer money and improving oversight of how the agency spends billions on things like border security equipment, surveillance systems, and other critical infrastructure.
