What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Implementing DOGE Act," aims to reduce government spending through across-the-board rescissions. It targets nonsecurity discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 2026 and every year following. The reduction is based on the "excess growth percent," which is any increase in annual appropriations exceeding one percent from the previous fiscal year. These rescissions are applied on a pro rata basis. The bill was introduced by Ms. Tenney and referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
