The plain-language version leads. The official text is always the reference.
Federal agencies would have to write anti-fraud emergency spending plans before a crisis hits, not after.

This bill requires major federal agencies to prepare written plans for preventing fraud and wasteful spending before any emergency occurs. Each plan must name a senior official in charge, describe how the agency will detect improper payments, and outline real-time monitoring tools. The Office of Management and Budget would set guidelines, collect all agency plans, and report them to Congress every year.
Major federal agencies would create the plans, and the Office of Management and Budget would oversee and set the rules. A named senior official at each agency would be personally responsible for carrying out the plan.
Without pre-made plans, agencies have had to build fraud safeguards from scratch after emergencies begin, when money is already moving quickly. This bill is a response to that timing problem.
