Mills, Bean, Donalds Introduce Bill Codifying DOGE Into Law

Representatives Cory Mills (R-FL), Aaron Bean (R-FL), and Byron Donalds (R-FL) have introduced a bill codifying the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into law.

In addition to codifying the department, the heads of each government agency will be required to work with DOGE to implement initiatives designed to increase government productivity with minimal bureaucracy.

"According to the agency themselves, DOGE has already achieved over $115 billion in savings, which amounts to more than $700 in savings per taxpayer," said Rep. Mills in his press release, adding, "They are rooting out waste and fraud, including the cancellation of 104 DEI contracts, saving the government more than $1 billion. One of my favorite finds was when DOGE identified that the Biden administration spent $8 million performing transgender experiments on mice. This is the type of wasteful spending that the American taxpayer deserves transparency on."

In comments to The Floridian, Rep. Mills suggested that DOGE audit the Department of Defense (DOD), as the Pentagon has failed to pass an audit for several consecutive years.

Rep. Bean, Chair of the House DOGE Caucus, said, "DOGE's mission is to improve government efficiency and stop the abuse of taxpayer dollars—and it's doing just that. "Further suggesting, "The American people overwhelmingly support ending waste, fraud, and abuse, and we are working to restore accountability to the American public."

Finally, Rep. Donalds called attention to the immense national debt and deficit: "$2 trillion annual deficits, $36 trillion in debt, and the Washington Swamp wants to continue to grow—enough is enough."

"We're taking our country back, we're putting the American people first again, and under President Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency is doing just that. Now more than ever, it's critical that we codify this consequential endeavor into federal law. I am proud to co-lead H.R. 2006 alongside Congressman Cory Mills to eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse plaguing our government once and for all," Rep. Donalds concluded.
