Bill Summary

A BILL To eliminate wasteful bureaucracies, modernize government operations, reduce regulatory overreach, and strengthen accountability and efficiency across the Federal workforce, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill aims to reform federal government operations through several key provisions. First, it calls for the permanent closure of the Federal Executive Institute within 90 days, eliminating funding for its activities. The bill introduces significant changes to federal employee probationary periods, requiring a 12-month probationary period for new employees in competitive service positions, with a mandatory certification within 30 days of the period's conclusion to continue employment. It addresses overcriminalization in federal regulations by requiring agencies to report and potentially repeal regulations with criminal penalties lacking clear statutory authority. The bill mandates digital modernization of the Federal Register, requiring the Archivist to digitize and automate internal processes and establish performance benchmarks for rule publication. Additionally, the Treasury is directed to develop new technologies and partnerships to improve payment systems, reducing reliance on outdated paper-based and pre-2000 information technology systems. To ensure implementation, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will oversee agency compliance, with agencies required to submit quarterly updates and the OMB to provide a comprehensive implementation report to Congress within 180 days of the Act's enactment. The bill represents a comprehensive effort to streamline government operations, increase efficiency, and modernize federal administrative processes.
