Bill > HR2742

This bill mandates that the Administrator of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) provide weekly reports to Congress detailing its activities and impacts across federal agencies. The reports must comprehensively cover changes made to federal agencies, including specific details like employee number changes, statutory authorizations for changes, cost-saving measures, policy modifications, physical structure alterations, data access information, and a comparison of realized versus expected benefits. The bill was prompted by concerns about DOGE's potentially arbitrary and disruptive reorganization efforts, which the findings suggest may be causing confusion and potentially harming government agency operations. Congress aims to enhance transparency and oversight by requiring these detailed weekly reports, drawing on its constitutional and legislative mandate to monitor executive branch actions. The bill specifically requires an initial report covering DOGE's activities since January 20, 2025, and subsequent weekly reports detailing any changes, with the goal of preventing potential fraud, waste, and abuse in government agency restructuring. The legislation defines DOGE as the United States DOGE Service and uses the standard federal definition of "agency" from existing law.
