Duplication Scoring Act of 2026
This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to analyze new federal legislation for potential duplication with existing programs, offices, or initiatives. When the GAO identifies such overlaps, it must report the findings to the Congressional Budget Office Director and the committee that introduced the bill, and publish the information on its website. The bill aims to improve government efficiency by flagging redundant spending before new programs are fully implemented, affecting the GAO, budget officials, and legislative committees.
