Plain-English summary
Acting on the Annual Duplication Report Act of 2019
This bill requires specified federal agencies to address recommendations made to Congress by the Government Accountability Office and detailed in the annual duplication report.
Specifically
- the Defense Security Cooperation Agency shall review options for expanding the use of administrative surcharges under the foreign military sales program;
- the Department of Energy shall review options for a long-range target for the optimal size and configuration of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve;
- the U.S. Mint may modify the composition of circulating coins in accordance with a study and analysis conducted by the Mint if such modification will reduce costs incurred by taxpayers, be seamless, and have no impact on the public and stakeholders; and
- the Department of the Treasury shall require that any tax return which is prepared electronically, but is printed and filed on paper, bear a code which can, when scanned, convert such return to electronic format.
Regarding student loan debt, among other things, an institution of higher education may not include placing students in forbearance as a means of reducing the cohort default rate of the institution.
