AI Summary
This bill, the Reforming Government Act of 2018, aims to provide the federal government with greater authority to consolidate and reorganize agencies to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The key provisions include:
1. Defining an "efficiency-enhancing plan" as a reorganization plan that the Office of Management and Budget determines will result in a decrease in the number of agencies or cost savings.
2. Expanding the President's reorganization authority to allow the creation of new agencies, in addition to abolishing, transferring, or consolidating existing agencies.
3. Extending the timeframe for the President to submit reorganization plans to Congress from the current deadline of December 31, 1984, to within 2 years after the enactment of this bill.
4. Modifying the Congressional approval process for reorganization plans to use a more streamlined resolution process.
The overall goal of the bill is to empower the federal government to streamline its operations and structure to better serve the public.
