Bill > HR2523

This bill requires states to establish a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a condition for receiving federal discretionary funding starting in fiscal year 2026. Specifically, each state must create a government efficiency agency with 10-20 members, equally representing the majority and minority political parties in the state legislature. This agency would be responsible for reviewing the state's administration of federal funds and working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. The agency must publish an annual public report detailing its work and providing recommendations for improving federal fund expenditure efficiency. The bill applies to all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. Importantly, the funding requirement does not apply to discretionary appropriations within the security category, ensuring that critical security-related funding is not withheld. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in how states manage federal funds by creating a dedicated oversight mechanism in each state government.
