Federal Agency Performance Act of 2024
This act revises requirements for strategic reviews of federal agencies' performance goals.
With respect to such strategic reviews, not less frequently than annually and consistent with guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget, each agency must take specified actions, including
for each goal or objective established in the agency's strategic plan, review the progress achieved toward the goal and the likelihood that the agency will achieve the goal;
identify any risks or impediments that would decrease the likelihood that the agency will achieve the goal; and
for each goal at greatest risk of not being achieved, identify prospects and strategies for performance improvement.
Additionally, the act requires that federal government priority goals (1) be updated and revised not less frequently than during the first year of each presidential term, (2) include plans for the successful achievement of each goal within each single presidential term, and (3) explicitly cite to any specific contents of the budget that support the achievement of each goal.
The Government Accountability Office must report to Congress on the effectiveness of this act.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on December 23, 2024: Became Public Law No: 118-190.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
Gary Peters (D-MI) introduced it on March 8, 2023, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Republican.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
