The LEASH DOGE Act requires the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to provide Congress and the public with detailed information about the department's operations and personnel by March 31, 2025. Specifically, the bill mandates that DOGE submit a report listing all employees and their security clearance and background check status, disclose any conflicts of interest, and provide this information in a publicly accessible website updated weekly. The DOGE leadership must also appear in closed congressional meetings to discuss the department's activities, including details about employee access to federal computer systems and personally identifiable information. If DOGE fails to meet these requirements by the deadline, the department's federal funding will be restricted—allowing only activities started before January 20, 2025—and no federal funds can be used for DOGE agency teams embedded throughout other government departments. The bill essentially establishes congressional oversight and transparency measures for an organization created to streamline federal government operations.
