The Secretary of Education must address the improper use of taxpayer funds. Grant and subgrant recipients must publicly display the Department of Education Inspector General hotline information, employees must be notified yearly of their responsibility to report fraud, and grant and subgrant applicants must provide assurances about their information.
To address the improper use of taxpayer funds, the Secretary of Education must do the following.
(1) Each recipient of a grant or subgrant under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 must display, in a public place, the hotline contact information for the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General. The display must allow anyone who observes, detects, or suspects improper use of taxpayer funds to report it easily.
(2) The Secretary must notify Department of Education employees every year of their responsibility to report fraud.
(3) The Secretary must require each applicant under that Act—
(A) for a grant, to provide the Secretary an "assurance" that all information submitted in applying for the grant and responding to monitoring and compliance reviews is truthful and accurate; and
(B) for a subgrant, to provide the assurance described in subparagraph (A) to the entity awarding the subgrant. This section does not define "assurance."

require that each recipient of a grant or subgrant under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) display, in a public place, the hotline contact information of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Education so that any individual who observes, detects, or suspects improper use of taxpayer funds can easily report such improper use;

for a grant under such Act to provide an assurance to the Secretary that any information submitted when applying for such grant and responding to monitoring and compliance reviews is truthful and accurate; and
for a subgrant under such Act to provide the assurance described in subparagraph (A) to the entity awarding the subgrant.
