The bill reduces outdated administrative burdens and compliance costs for ONDCP and its partners but risks removing statutory protections, creating legal ambiguity, and weakening oversight that could disrupt services and reduce accountability.
Federal agency staff (including ONDCP employees) will face fewer outdated administrative requirements, simplifying operations and reducing workload for agency personnel.
Nonprofits and government contractors that work with ONDCP may see lower compliance costs and reduced legal complexity due to removal of an obsolete or duplicative statutory requirement.
Nonprofits, program participants, and program staff could lose statutory protections, coordination, or required support that the deleted subsection previously provided, potentially reducing services or benefits available to clients.
Federal employees and contractors may face legal ambiguity about agency roles and responsibilities until Congress or ONDCP issues a replacement, creating risk of short-term disruption to programs and operations.
Taxpayers and nonprofits could experience weakened oversight or fewer limits on ONDCP actions if the repeal removes prohibitions, reducing safeguards and accountability.
