Bill > HR1145

This bill, titled the "Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act," introduces a unique provision regarding personal liability for a special Government employee managing the Department of Government Efficiency. Specifically, the bill stipulates that the special Government employee (a term legally defined in 18 U.S. Code § 202(a) as an individual temporarily employed by the government with specific duties) who leads this department will be personally responsible for any legal claims brought against the Federal Government related to the department's activities. These potential claims could encompass a wide range of issues, including violations of federal labor laws, data privacy regulations, national security threats, federal appropriations laws, and other statutory infractions. By making the individual employee directly liable, rather than the government itself, the bill represents an unprecedented approach to governmental accountability, potentially creating significant personal legal and financial risk for the department's leader.
