HR 1847119th CongressIn Committee

To codify Executive Order 14158 relating to establishing and implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency.

Introduced: Mar 5, 2025

Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would take Executive Order 14158, which is described as establishing and implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency, and make it federal law. In other words, it would codify the policies and structure outlined in E.O. 14158 into statute, giving them the force of law. The bill does not add new provisions beyond stating that EO 14158 shall have the force and effect of law; its practical effect is to enshrine the executive order’s creation and mandate into the statutory framework of the federal government. The measure was introduced by Representative Issa and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Key Points

1Codifies Executive Order 14158 into statute, giving the order the force of law.
2The executive order in question relates to establishing and implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency.
3The bill’s text is limited to codification and contains no additional funding, organizational details, or implementation changes beyond what is in EO 14158.
4Introduced in the House by Rep. Issa on March 5, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
5The bill would need congressional action to modify or repeal the codified provisions in the future; the codification makes the order harder to reverse unilaterally by future administrations, though Congress can legislate changes.

Impact Areas

Primary group/area affected: Federal agencies and federal government operations, particularly those involved in efficiency initiatives and interagency coordination under the President’s Department of Government Efficiency; federal employees interfacing with the department.Secondary group/area affected: Taxpayers and oversight entities (e.g., GAO, inspectors general) who rely on efficiency improvements and reduced duplication across government programs.Additional impacts: The codification could affect executive branch flexibility in reorganizing or reforming government operations, depending on how subsequent administrations and Congress adjust or amend the statute; it may also influence budgeting and internal management practices tied to efficiency goals.
