AI Summary

This bill requires the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to submit a comprehensive report to Congress about the department's personnel and activities. The report must include a detailed list of all DOGE employees, their roles, background check results, security clearance status, and any potential conflicts of interest. The bill mandates that the DOGE head and senior advisors appear at closed meetings of congressional committees to present information about current and planned departmental activities, including details about access to federal computer systems and personally identifiable information. Additionally, the bill requires DOGE to establish a public website that is updated weekly, providing transparent information about employee status, funding changes, program activities, and contact information for inquiries. If the DOGE head fails to comply with these requirements by March 31, 2025, the bill restricts the department's use of funds, limiting expenditures to activities initiated before January 20, 2025, and preventing funding for DOGE Agency Teams. The bill also clarifies that employees serving on DOGE Agency Teams will be considered DOGE employees, and agency heads must provide necessary information to support the reporting requirements.
