Duty of Transparency Act
To require Members of Congress to provide disclosures related to absences from attendance, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to make Members of Congress more transparent by requiring them to disclose their absences from attendance. The idea is to help the public understand when and why their representatives are not present for votes and other important activities. This bill would impact all Members of Congress, making them accountable for their attendance records.
Currently, the bill has been introduced in the House and has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration. This means it is in the initial stages of the legislative process, where it will be reviewed and possibly amended before moving forward.
The key actions so far include its introduction on July 16, 2026, and its referral to the relevant committee. No further actions have been taken yet, but the bill is now under review by the committee members who will decide its next steps.
