Summary
The COST Act mandates that any agency or organization using federal funds must state the percentage and dollar amount of federal and non‑governmental financing in public statements, press releases, solicitations and similar documents. It also creates reporting and compliance checks by the Office of Management and Budget. The goal is to give the public a clear view of how taxpayer dollars are used in each project.
