H.R. 4372 — To amend title 10 to shorten breach reporting timelines, increase program transparency, and improve congressional oversight of Department of Defense cost overruns with respect to the cost growth for major systems, and for other purposes. | JustPolicyThe purpose of this legislation is to improve the oversight and management of major defense acquisition programs within the Department of Defense (DoD). It aims to shorten the timeframes for reporting cost overruns, increase transparency about program costs, and enhance congressional oversight of these programs. One of the main changes is the requirement for the Secretary of Defense to report any cost overruns to Congress within 30 days of identifying them. This replaces the previous, longer reporting timelines.
