Amend the Appropriations Process Act

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

2 - Reasons
(1) Federal government entities should be transparent with their spending, not just executive departments.
(2) Towns aren’t included (unlike the previous bill) and the RBA under the Modern Legal Board Act can spend government funds, thus they should be transparent with their budget.
(3) This will also cover any future federal departments, agencies, and organizations.

3 - Terms
(1) Section VI, subsection I, sub-subsection III of the Appropriations Process Act shall be amended from: Any payments for goods or services by the departments over their operational threshold outlined in the budget will need to be declared in this channel.
