Increases dollar limits for military sales oversight; punishes federal employees who try to avoid review.
This bill raises the dollar amounts for military sales that Congress must review. It also bans federal employees from intentionally breaking up sales to avoid oversight. Department of State employees who do this could lose their jobs and face large fines.
Today, Congress reviews military sales above certain dollar amounts, like $14,000,000 or $50,000,000. There are no specific punishments for federal employees who try to avoid this review. If this bill becomes law, Congress would only review much larger military sales, such as those above $23,000,000 or $83,000,000. Department of State employees who intentionally try to avoid this review would face severe penalties. These include losing their job and a $100,000 fine.
