Accountability Doesn’t Expire Act

This bill keeps the federal pandemic watchdog group going longer and asks it to study how longer time limits for investigating Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans are working. The group must send Congress a report by September 30, 2030 on the effects of extending the deadline for investigating PPP loan fraud and mistakes, as set by a 2022 law.

In plain terms, it aims to extend oversight of pandemic spending and check whether giving investigators more time helps catch fraud and protect taxpayer money.

• Who is affected: small businesses that took PPP loans, taxpayers, and government watchdogs.
• What changes: the oversight committee continues its work; it must report on the impact of longer investigation time limits for PPP loans.
• When: the report to Congress is due by September 30, 2030.
