DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act

This legislation, known as the DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act, aims to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse by establishing rigorous oversight of the Department of Government Efficiency Service (DOGE). It responds to concerns that DOGE, created by executive order to maximize governmental efficiency, has implemented arbitrary and capricious reductions in force and office closures , causing confusion and adversely impacting federal agencies' ability to serve citizens. The bill requires the DOGE Administrator to provide weekly reports to Congress detailing all actions taken with respect to federal agencies and their cumulative impact. These comprehensive reports must include information on statutory authorizations, changes in employee numbers, specific policy and physical alterations, cost-saving measures, and any federal agency data accessed by DOGE. An initial report covering DOGE activities since January 20, 2025, is also mandated to ensure immediate transparency and accountability for past actions.
