Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require the Department of Defense to publicly disclose more detailed information about military contracts, including who receives them, how much they're worth, and what they're for. This increased transparency would let taxpayers, Congress, and the public better understand how defense spending money is being used and which companies are winning government contracts. The measure affects defense contractors, military officials, and citizens interested in how their tax dollars fund national security.
