States need efficiency offices for federal funds

Starting in fiscal year 2026, states would need a government efficiency office to receive most discretionary federal funds. Security-category discretionary funds are excluded. The office would have 10 to 20 members, with equal numbers from the state legislature’s majority and minority parties. It would post a yearly report on the state website and send it to the Department of Government Efficiency in the President’s office. The report would review how the state uses federal money and suggest ways to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. This would apply to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.
