Implementing DOGE Act

HR 10413, the "Implementing DOGE Act," would require automatic reductions to nonsecurity federal spending starting in fiscal year 2026. It mandates a pro-rata cut equal to the "excess growth percent" (how much nonsecurity discretionary spending grew beyond 1% compared to the previous year) for all nonsecurity discretionary programs. This affects agencies funding programs like education, transportation, and environmental initiatives, but not defense or security-related spending. The cuts would apply automatically on the day after federal appropriations become available for each fiscal year. The bill focuses on budget mechanics, not specific policy changes to programs.
