Bill Summary

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish the Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs.

AI Summary

This resolution establishes a new temporary Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs within the House of Representatives, which will operate until the close of the 120th Congress. The committee will be composed of 21 members, including four members each from the Appropriations, Budget, Oversight and Government Reform, and Ways and Means Committees, plus a Chair and Vice Chair from different political parties who are not members of those four committees. The committee's primary responsibilities include researching, reviewing, and studying federal programs to identify those that are underperforming or nonessential, developing recommendations for modifying or eliminating such programs, and submitting annual reports with detailed findings and a list of problematic programs. The resolution also creates expedited legislative procedures for bills reported by this committee, including a privileged motion to consider the legislation, limited debate time (10 hours), and restrictions on amendments or motions to recommit. These provisions are designed to streamline the process of potentially reducing or eliminating federal programs that are deemed ineffective or unnecessary.
