Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Federal Government Reform Act of 2025 seeks to streamline federal operations and reduce regulatory burden through several key reforms. The bill requires closure of the Federal Executive Institute in Virginia within 90 days and establishes new rules making it easier to terminate federal employees during their first year of service—agencies must certify that new hires should continue or they will be separated. The legislation also restricts federal agencies from issuing regulations with criminal penalties unless those penalties are explicitly authorized by Congress, and it requires the Federal Register to modernize its systems to publish rules within 24 hours of receipt. Additionally, the Treasury Department must implement new digital payment technologies to replace outdated paper-based systems. The Office of Management and Budget will oversee implementation, with agencies required to submit quarterly updates and a comprehensive report due within 180 days of the bill's enactment. No specific funding is allocated in the text, as the reforms are intended to improve efficiency and reduce costs within existing agency operations.
