The bill wants to make sure that when the government makes special types of deals, called "other transaction agreements," they tell everyone by putting the information on a website where people can see how money is being spent. It also wants them to keep track of all these deals with unique numbers and write reports if something doesn’t show up online.

H.R. 8690, called the "Stop Secret Spending Act of 2024," is a plan to make sure the government tells everyone about all the different ways it spends money by showing it on a special website, so people know where the money is going.

S. 3926 wants to make sure that when the government spends money in special ways that aren't usually tracked, those details are shared on a website so everyone can see how money is being used. It also asks for a yearly report to explain if some spending is kept secret, like when it's about national security.
