Finding Federal Savings Committee Resolution

This resolution would change House rules to create a new committee focused on finding federal programs that are not working well or are not needed. The committee would study those programs and suggest changes or cuts. It also sets up a faster process for the House to consider bills that eliminate programs or take back funding. The measure was introduced on January 13, 2025, by Rep. Obernolte and sent to the House Rules Committee . The summary says the committee’s work can lead to bills moving more quickly and that the committee will end after the 120th Congress .

In daily life, this could mean some federal services or grants might be changed or reduced if they are found to be wasteful or unnecessary. Communities that rely on certain programs could see adjustments if Congress acts on the committee’s recommendations .
