Implementing DOGE Act

United States119th CongressHR-199House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 3, 2025

Summary

This proposed legislation establishes a mechanism for automatic, across-the-board rescissions of certain federal spending. Its primary goal is to control the growth of nonsecurity discretionary appropriations by linking them to overall appropriation increases. Specifically, for fiscal year 2026 and every subsequent fiscal year, the bill mandates a pro rata rescission of nonsecurity discretionary appropriations . This rescission amount is determined by the "excess growth percent," which is the percentage by which total annual appropriations exceeded the previous fiscal year's total by more than one percent. These cuts take effect after all federal appropriations for the fiscal year are made available, aiming to reduce government expenditures that fall outside of security-related discretionary spending.
