COVID Fraud Transparency Act of 2025

# COVID Fraud Transparency Act of 2025 — Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The COVID Fraud Transparency Act would require the Small Business Administration's Office of Inspector General to publish quarterly reports detailing fraud cases related to COVID-19 relief loans, particularly the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). These reports would track investigations and prosecutions involving people or businesses that misused pandemic aid funds. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects oversight of COVID-19 loan programs and would increase public transparency around fraud cases. It would create regular reporting requirements, allowing Congress and the public to monitor how frequently fraud occurs, how much money is involved, and what actions are being taken against violators.

This could help identify patterns in fraud schemes and track the government's enforcement efforts. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee and has not yet advanced for a full vote in the House. The measure was introduced by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) in the 119th Congress.
