This resolution, titled the "Finding Federal Savings Committee Resolution," amends the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish a new **Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs**. This temporary committee is charged with researching, reviewing, and studying federal programs to identify those that are underperforming or nonessential, with the goal of developing recommendations for their modification or elimination. The committee is mandated to submit annual reports detailing its findings, conclusions, and a list of programs targeted for change, along with proposing legislation to implement these modifications or rescissions. Its membership will comprise 16 members from key financial and oversight committees, plus a Chair appointed by the Speaker and a Vice Chair appointed by the Minority Leader, ensuring bipartisan representation. Significantly, the resolution establishes **expedited legislative procedures** for any bill or resolution reported by this committee. These procedures include highly privileged motions to consider, a strict 10-hour limit on debate, and a prohibition on amendments or motions to recommit, aiming to streamline the process for acting on the committee's recommendations.
