Certifying officers at the Library of Congress can be held liable the same way other government disbursing and accountable officers already are. They also have the right to ask the Comptroller General for a ruling on any legal question about a voucher payment.

The Library of Congress enforces a certifying officer's or employee's liability the same way the law already enforces liability for disbursing officers and other accountable officers. These officers and employees also have the right to ask the Comptroller General to decide any question of law about a payment on a voucher that was presented to them for certification.
