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

# Summary of HR 1847 **What the Bill Does:** HR 1847 would create a new "Department of Government Efficiency" by converting an executive order (a presidential directive) into actual law. Executive Order 14158 established this department to review federal government operations and recommend ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency. By codifying it into law, Congress would make this department permanent and give it official legal standing, rather than leaving it subject to change by future presidents. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily affect federal employees and agencies, as the new department would likely review their operations and practices. Taxpayers could be impacted if the efficiency measures result in cost savings or changes to government services.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA). **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but not yet debated or voted on by the full House. The specific provisions and powers this department would have are not detailed in the basic bill information available, so the extent of its authority and which agencies it would oversee remain to be clarified as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
