Improper Payments Transparency Act
This bill requires the President's annual budget to include specified information regarding improper payment amounts and rates for programs and activities at certain federal agencies.

Specifically, the President's budget must include (1) a narrative description, including a detailed explanation of why any improper payment amounts and rates occurred and related trends for programs and activities; and (2) corrective actions and steps the agencies will take to address improper payment amount and rate issues.
Includes amendment, cloture, and procedural votes. Each is labeled with its exact question; only a passage question is a vote to pass the bill.
No recorded roll calls on this bill in coverage.
