Texas SB14 would create an efficiency office to streamline state regulations, reduce unnecessary rules and improve public access to regulatory information.
The Texas Senate has passed a bill aimed at enhancing government efficiency, drawing inspiration from former President Donald Trump's initiatives to streamline federal operations. The legislation, known as Senate Bill 1802, focuses on reducing bureaucratic red tape, cutting unnecessary expenditures, and improving service delivery across state agencies. It proposes measures like mandatory performance audits, the establishment of a dedicated office for efficiency and accountability, and the implementation of zero-based budgeting where agencies must justify all expenditures from scratch. This move reflects a broader conservative push towards smaller, more efficient government, echoing Trump's "drain the swamp" rhetoric. The bill now awaits consideration in the Texas House.
