The LEASH DOGE Act would require the head of the U.S. DOGE Service to report employee information to two congressional committees, including employees’ roles, background-check status and results, security clearances, and conflicts of interest. The DOGE head and certain presidential advisers would also have to brief the committees in closed meetings about DOGE’s activities and employees’ access to federal computer systems and personal information. A public website, updated at least weekly, would list DOGE employees and provide information about federal layoffs, leave, funding changes, and contacts for questions about federal workers and assistance.
If enacted, the public could use the website to check the listed information about federal staffing and funding changes and find contacts for questions about federal personnel and financial assistance. The bill sets a March 31, 2025, deadline for the required report, meetings, and website. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The text does not provide a cost estimate. If DOGE fails to meet the deadline, funds available to DOGE could be limited to activities started before January 20, 2025, and federal funds could not be used for DOGE Agency Teams until the requirements are met.
