Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act This bill expands reporting requirements for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). TVA is a government corporation that provides electricity in Tennessee and in portions of several surrounding states. It also provides flood control, navigation, and land management services for the Tennessee River system. The bill reinstates the requirement for TVA to file an annual financial statement and report with Congress in March. (The requirement was terminated by the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995.) The bill also modifies the requirement that the report include the names, salaries, and duties of employees earning more than $1,500 a year. Under the bill, this information is only required for employees earning more than the maximum rate of basic pay for grade GS-13 of the General Schedule.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill reinstates a requirement for the TVA to file an annual financial report with Congress, which was previously eliminated.
The report must include details on the salaries and job duties of TVA employees earning more than the maximum pay for a GS-13 federal government position.
This would increase transparency and public access to information about the compensation of top TVA executives and officials.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would affect the Tennessee Valley Authority and the communities it serves across several states. It would require the TVA to disclose more financial details and employee compensation information to Congress and the public, potentially increasing oversight and accountability for the government-owned utility company.
