What this bill does
This bill, known as the "Eliminate Useless Reports Act of 2023," would require federal agencies to identify and list any recurring reports or plans they submit that are outdated or duplicated. For each identified report, agencies would need to recommend whether to end, change, combine, or reduce its frequency. They would also have to cite the law or directive requiring the report and list the relevant congressional committees.
If a report is submitted by multiple federal agencies, the Office of Management and Budget would also review it to determine if it's outdated or duplicative and make recommendations to Congress. This process is designed to streamline government reporting by flagging unnecessary submissions.
The bill passed the Senate with changes and has been sent back to the House of Representatives. The latest action shows the Senate concurred in a House amendment to the bill, with a strong bipartisan vote. If both chambers agree on the final language, it will be sent to the President to be signed into law.
