Bill overview
The Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2019 aims to increase accountability in federal contracting and grant-making by requiring prospective contractors and grantees to certify that they do not have seriously delinquent federal tax debts. If a certification is provided and found to be false, agencies can initiate debarment proceedings. The bill also establishes procedures for agencies to disclose information about delinquent tax debts and mandates revisions to federal regulations to implement these changes, applying to contracts and grants awarded after 270 days of enactment.
