HR 397 United States House · 118th Congress

GORAC Act

The GORAC Act requires the Comptroller General to hire an external auditor to review all federal programs over the past 20 years, identifying duplicative, wasteful, or outdated functions. The auditor must recommend consolidating agencies with the same purpose or eliminating programs that wasted funds through mismanagement, personal benefit, or completed objectives. The bill mandates that any savings from these changes fund domestic programs or reduce the national debt, while requiring agencies to relocate affected employees. Congress must act on the auditor's report within two years through a streamlined process that limits debate and amendments to the proposed legislation.
