Bill overview
The Settlement Agreement Information Database Act of 2023 requires federal agencies to publicly disclose information about settlement agreements they enter into with alleged violations of federal law. This includes details like the type of agreement, the amount paid, and the specific violations addressed. Agencies must maintain a searchable database of these agreements, with exceptions for information deemed confidential to protect the public interest, which must be justified in a public statement. The bill also amends the Freedom of Information Act to ensure these agreements are accessible through disclosure requests.
