In Plain Language
This bill requires the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides electricity and water management services across Tennessee and neighboring states, to file yearly financial reports with Congress starting in March. The reports must list the names, salaries, and job duties of employees earning more than the highest pay level for a federal grade GS-13 position, which is a higher threshold than the current requirement.
