What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Delete DOGE Act," seeks to prohibit the use of and rescind Federal funds for the United States DOGE Service. It defines various "covered entities" including the Department of Government Efficiency and its associated teams or successor entities.

It places limitations on the use of Federal funds for implementing or enforcing these executive orders. Additionally, it restricts funding for the United States Digital Service and any project initiated by a covered entity on or after January 20, 2025.
