HR 5249 United States House · 119th Congress

Limit on Sweeping Executive Reorganization Act

HR 5249 requires the President to submit a detailed reorganization impact report to Congress before implementing significant federal agency changes (like cutting 5%+ staff or merging agencies). Congress must then pass a specific "joint resolution of approval" within 7 days for the reorganization to proceed. The bill establishes an independent panel to review reports and provide advisory opinions within 30 days, while also mandating agencies to notify affected employees and comply with labor protections. This directly affects federal agencies planning major restructuring, Congress as the gatekeeper, and agency employees facing potential job impacts.
