What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Tennessee Valley Authority to file annual financial reports with Congress starting in March.
  • The TVA, which provides electricity and flood control across Tennessee and surrounding states, must disclose executive salaries.
  • The reporting requirement, eliminated in 1995, is reinstated with a higher salary disclosure threshold at the GS-13 federal pay grade level.

    How would reinstating TVA salary disclosure affect the agency's ability to compete for executive talent compared to other utilities?

  2. 02

    What specific decisions or spending patterns might Congress influence by receiving detailed TVA financial reports annually?

  3. 03

    Why was the original reporting requirement eliminated in 1995, and has anything changed to justify reinstating it now?
