The House passed HR-5527, reauthorizing technology modernization funds through 2033 and increasing the focus on replacing outdated federal agency IT, including creating a “Federal Legacy IT Inventory” to track results.
The bill also requires agencies to provide more detailed reporting on the fund's repayment capacity before receiving funds, and requires TMF grants to be repaid at the level necessary to operate the fund. ing. It also creates new requirements for institutions to repay administrative fees.
The TMF is a government-wide central fund designed to give agencies upfront money so they can replace legacy systems rather than spending the long term to keep them running. Agencies then pay the fund back with savings. But GAO reported last year that of 37 projects funded by the program since it was created in 2017, only eight have seen measurable savings, and most are still ongoing, meaning there is still potential for savings.
The bipartisan bill passed by a vote.
The House also requires OMB to appoint a senior official as the federal service delivery leader, who coordinates government-wide efforts to improve service delivery, and tasks each agency with responsibility for improving and building better services. It also passed HR-5887, which requires the appointment of officers. Trust with the people.
