Congressman Andy Biggs has reintroduced legislation aimed at supporting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, a program associated with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The initiative is designed to address calls for government reform from American voters.

"The federal government has expanded far beyond what our founders intended. President Trump, Elon Musk, and congressional Republicans must be dedicated to shrinking the size of the government and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are utilized as efficiently as possible. America voted for major government reform, and Congress must be ready to deliver President Trump’s agenda," stated Congressman Biggs.

The reintroduced legislative package includes several bills:

- H.R. 56, Secret Service Prioritization Act: Aims to refocus the United States Secret Service's mission on protecting national leaders.

- H.R. 86, Nullify Occupational Safety and Health Administration (NOSHA) Act: Seeks to abolish the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

- H.R. 50, Keeping Aid for Municipalities and Localities Accountable (KAMALA) Act: Prohibits using taxpayer funds for housing illegal aliens.

- H.R. 110, Small Business Prosperity Act: Proposes expanding deductions for qualified business income.

- H.R. 107, Return to Work Act: Requires reinstating telework policies from December 31, 2019.

- H.R. 113, Budget Process Enhancement Act: Suggests withholding Congressional salaries if a budget resolution is not agreed upon for fiscal year 2026.

- H.R. 82 - Defund National Endowment for the Humanities Act

- H.J.Res. 2 - Proposes a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States

This legislative effort reflects Congressman Biggs's commitment to limiting governmental size and scope while restoring power balance.
