Less Bureaucracy, Better Family Engagement Act

Key Points

• This bill moves several programs that help families and schools from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services. The goal is to change which government agency manages these specific services.
• The programs being moved include those for school safety, family engagement, and grants that help children get ready to learn. All the money, staff, and records for these programs would move to the new department.
• The government cannot hire more people because of this move. The total number of federal employees at these agencies must stay the same as it was when the bill passed to prevent the government from getting bigger.
• Current rules, contracts, and legal cases will not change just because the programs moved. Everything stays in effect until the new department decides to update them or a court changes them.
• If passed, the transfer would happen within six months. The head of the budget office will oversee the move to make sure it follows the rules and does not waste money.
