Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill creates a 9‑member Constitutional Government Review Commission to review every federal agency and decide if the federal government is clearly allowed to do that work under the Constitution. After each review, the Commission can recommend ending the law that created an agency and the rules it enforces, and suggest sending any federal savings to states in lump sums so they can take over those duties. Congress would then get quick, up‑or‑down votes on a package of the Commission’s proposals, with limited debate and no amendments.
The process is meant to be open to the public. The Commission must hold public meetings, run a public website with records, and accept review requests from the public and government officials. It can hold hearings, require documents from agencies, and require people to testify. It can spend up to $30 million and ends after about five years.
