Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish the Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs.

This resolution (HRES 890) would amend House rules to create a new committee focused on reviewing federal programs. The Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs would be composed of 14 members - four each from the Appropriations, Budget, Oversight, and Ways and Means committees, plus a Speaker-appointed Chair and Vice Chair from opposing parties. The committee's duties include studying underperforming or nonessential federal programs, identifying duplicative or private-sector alternatives, and submitting annual reports with specific program recommendations and proposed legislation for elimination. Any bills or resolutions from this committee would receive expedited consideration under House rules, including a 7-day waiting period and limited debate time.
