  • On Floor
  • Passed Chamber
  • Enacted
This legislation reauthorizes the President's executive reorganization authority under chapter 9 of title 5, United States Code, extending its expiration date to December 31, 2026 . The bill significantly broadens the stated purposes for executive reorganization, allowing the President to eliminate operations deemed unnecessary for constitutional duties, reduce the number of federal employees, and amend or eliminate burdensome rules and regulations. It also aims to eliminate government operations that do not serve the public interest. A key change is the removal of the previous limitation that prevented reorganization plans from abolishing enforcement functions or statutory programs . Furthermore, the bill introduces a new restriction, prohibiting any reorganization plan from creating a net increase in federal workers or expenditures . It also clarifies the definition of "executive department" to encompass a wide range of executive branch entities, ensuring comprehensive application of this authority.
