HOUSTON, Texas– Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill establishing the Texas Delivery of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Committee.
The initiative, with a cost of $22.8 million over five years, aims to enhance the efficiency of state government operations.
The committee will focus on improving the organization and management of state agencies, addressing issues such as open government, cybersecurity, and the integration of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
The DOGE Committee will consist of thirteen members, including eight Republicans and five Democrats. The members will be tasked with reviewing state operations and recommending improvements.
The committee will assess existing state regulations and propose reforms to eliminate outdated or duplicative functions, with the goal of reducing costs and improving the effectiveness of government services.
In addition, the committee plans to incorporate technological advancements, particularly in the areas of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, to enhance service delivery and government operations.
The DOGE Committee will operate under a structured program that includes public meetings, and information about these gatherings will be made available to the public.
