H.R. 1295 — Reorganizing Government Act of 2025

This section establishes the short title of the Act as the “Reorganizing Government Act of 2025.”

This section revises the executive reorganization authorities in chapter 9 of title 5, United States Code, by replacing references to “agencies” with “executive departments” and expanding the stated purposes of reorganization plans to include, among other things, eliminating operations determined to be unnecessary for constitutional duties, reducing the number of Federal employees, decreasing the cost and difficulty of regulatory compliance, eliminating unnecessary and burdensome rules, and eliminating government operations that do not serve the public interest. It also defines “executive department” to include any executive department, agency, or independent establishment of the United States, any wholly owned Federal corporation, and any office or officer of the executive branch, but excludes the Government Accountability Office and the Comptroller General. This section further revises the procedures for presidential reorganization plans by striking the prohibition on abolishing any enforcement function or statutory program, and by revising the limitations on plan content to prohibit plans that would create a net increase in the number of Federal workers or a net increase in expenditures. It extends the authority to submit reorganization plans and related provisions through December 31, 2026 (from December 31, 1984). It also updates section numbering in chapter 9 by changing the reference in section 909 from “19” to “20.”
