U.S. Reps. Peter Meijer (R-MI) and Rodney Davis (R-IL) introduced legislation last week to ensure accountability and oversight of infrastructure spending authorized through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Responsible Better Understanding of Infrastructure Leveraged Dollars (BUILD) Act would establish a Special Inspector General for Infrastructure Projects who would oversee infrastructure investment projects. It would also recommend policies that promote economic efficiency and effectiveness while helping to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the infrastructure program.
