## Summary

**Targets underperforming federal programs for modification or elimination.** This resolution would create a House Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs to study programs, publish findings, and send legislation and rescissions based on those reports. - Programs and agencies: The committee would identify and list underperforming or nonessential federal programs and submit recommendations, including legislation and rescissions, at least once a year. - Congressional process: It would add expedited floor procedures for the committee's bills. After a 7-day wait the motion to proceed would be privileged and not debatable, debate on the bill would be capped at 10 hours split evenly, and amendments or motions to recommit would not be allowed. - Structure and timeline: The panel would include 18 members — four each from Appropriations, Budget, Oversight, and Ways and Means, plus two at-large members appointed as chair and vice chair from different parties. The committee would cease at the close of the 120th Congress.
