Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets Act

What this bill does

  • Federal agencies must inventory their software and report what they own, use, and pay for.
  • All federal departments and intelligence agencies must create plans to manage software more efficiently.
  • Agencies have two years to submit plans to OMB and Congress; OMB must then recommend new procurement policies.
