Key Points

This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to review new legislation to see if it creates programs that do the same work as ones already in place.
If a new bill creates a redundant office or project, the agency must report it to Congress and post the information online for the public to see.
The plan aims to reduce government waste by making sure lawmakers know if they are accidentally funding the same task twice before they vote on a bill.
This rule would apply to any bill that has been approved by a committee and is moving toward a final vote in the House or Senate.
