Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The bill codifies and gives the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by executive order, statutory effect. It authorizes all DOGE-issued rules, policies, guidance, and agency actions to have the full force of law, preserves DOGE-rescinded or modified regulations in their revised form until DOGE or Congress changes them, and requires that DOGE-identified budgetary savings and efficiency measures be maintained notwithstanding other laws or appropriations.
Progressives emphasize democratic safeguards and civil protections.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a broadly scoped substantive measure that lacks necessary detail and safeguards.

Broad, intrusive centralization of executive authority, likely legal challenges, and absence of compromise features make enactment unlikely without strong aligned majorities.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a broadly scoped substantive measure that lacks necessary detail and safeguards. It declaratively elevates DOGE-issued actions to statutory effect and preserves regulatory and budgetary changes, but it provides only minimal explanation of purpose, limited mechanism detail, no implementation timeline or responsibilities, no fiscal analysis, and no accountability or protections.

Likely critical.
Views the bill as a significant expansion of executive authority that can lock in deregulatory changes and circumvent ordinary rulemaking, oversight, and appropriations.
Concern focuses on weakened statutory protections and reduced agency independence.
Mixed and cautious.
Sees potential for sensible efficiency gains, but worries about separation of powers, legal safeguards, and practical implementation details.
Would seek procedural limits and measurable accountability.
Generally favorable.
Views the bill as making executive efficiency reforms durable, reducing regulatory burden, and protecting enacted savings from reversal.
Likely welcomes codifying deregulatory changes and fiscal discipline.
