This bill would make the head of the Department of Government Efficiency personally liable for legal claims against the federal government that arise from the department's activities. Specifically, the legislation targets the special government employee managing the department, requiring them to pay for claims related to violations of labor laws, data privacy laws, national security threats, appropriations laws, and other federal statutes. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines. It would primarily affect whoever leads the Department of Government Efficiency and potentially limit that person's immunity from personal liability for official actions. The bill was introduced in February 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee but has not advanced further.
