Bill > S583

This bill amends Chapter 9 of Title 5 of the United States Code to expand the President's authority to reorganize executive departments and streamline government operations. The legislation broadens the President's reorganization powers to include eliminating unnecessary operations, reducing the number of federal employees, simplifying compliance rules, and removing government functions that do not serve the public interest. The bill replaces the term "agencies" with "executive departments" throughout the existing law, which now includes any executive department, agency, independent establishment, or corporation wholly owned by the United States, as well as offices and officers of the executive branch. Notably, the bill excludes the Government Accountability Office and the Comptroller General from these provisions. The legislation also extends the President's reorganization authority until December 31, 2026, and adds a restriction preventing reorganization plans that would create a net increase in federal workers or expenditures. These changes are designed to make the federal government more efficient, reduce bureaucratic complexity, and potentially lower administrative costs.
