H.R. 1295 restores the President's authority to submit "reorganization plans" that merge, eliminate, or restructure executive branch agencies, cut federal jobs, remove regulations, or close programs. These plans take effect automatically unless Congress votes to block them. The bill extends this authority through the end of 2026, broadens which agencies are covered, and excludes the Government Accountability Office.
Federal employees whose jobs or agencies could be merged or eliminated, and the general public who rely on federal services, regulations, and enforcement.
The bill shifts power toward the executive branch by letting the President reshape government with less active congressional approval, since lawmakers could only block plans rather than pass new laws to authorize each change. It also removes a prior restriction on abolishing enforcement functions, while adding a rule that plans cannot increase federal employees or spending overall.
