Contact Congress about H.R. 2742: DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act

DOGE would have to tell Congress each week what it changed at federal agencies. The reports would cover jobs, offices, costs, policies, data access, and results. One first report would also cover past DOGE work back to January 20, 2025.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Latest action on H.R. 2742: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects DOGE, federal agencies, federal workers, Congress, and people who use government services. DOGE would have to create detailed weekly reports. Agencies and workers could see staffing cuts, office moves, and policy changes described in those reports. Congress would get more information to oversee DOGE's work. The public could learn more about how DOGE changes affect services and agency data.

Why this matters: DOGE can affect jobs, offices, services, budgets, and government data. This bill would make those effects easier for Congress to see each week. It could help lawmakers track whether cost-saving and technology changes are working as promised. It could also show who accessed agency data and why. The bill does not decide whether DOGE actions are good or bad; it mainly creates a paper trail for oversight.

Key provisions in H.R. 2742

  • The DOGE Administrator must send Congress a written report every week. The report must describe all DOGE actions that affect each federal agency and the total effect so far.
  • Each report must give the legal basis for every DOGE change. That means DOGE must say what law allows the change.
  • DOGE must report all agency staffing changes tied to its actions. This includes resignations, removals, and jobs that were eliminated.
  • DOGE must describe each specific change to how an agency is organized or run. This includes changes inside agency offices.
  • DOGE must report any cost-saving steps and policy changes it caused at federal agencies.
