Requires federal agencies to report duplicate programs and services to reduce government waste.
The problem
Federal government may have overlapping programs that waste money and confuse the public. Congress needs better information about duplication to make spending decisions.
The proposal
Bill directs agencies to identify and score duplicate programs. Agencies report findings to Congress. Creates a system to measure how much duplication exists across government.
The impact
Federal agencies must conduct reviews and reporting. Congress gets data to eliminate waste. Taxpayers may benefit from reduced spending. Government employees handle new reporting duties.
Finding duplicate programs helps eliminate unnecessary spending. When Congress sees overlapping services, they can consolidate or eliminate them. This saves taxpayer money.
Agencies must document and report duplication. This creates public records showing how government operates. Citizens and Congress get clearer information about federal spending.
Congress receives detailed data about duplicate programs. This helps lawmakers make informed choices about which programs to keep, merge, or eliminate.
Knowing they must report duplication motivates agencies to streamline operations. Agencies may coordinate better to avoid creating overlapping services.
Agencies must hire staff or spend resources reviewing programs and scoring duplication. The reporting system itself requires funding and administrative work.
Even with reports, Congress may not eliminate duplicate programs due to political pressure or constituent support. Reporting without action wastes agency resources.
The bill doesn't explain how to score or measure duplication. Agencies may score programs differently, making comparisons difficult or unreliable.
Federal agencies face new paperwork requirements and compliance deadlines. Resources spent on reporting could be used for actual government services.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
