Sarasota Review

U.S. Representative Greg Steube of Florida has introduced the Federal Government Reform Act of 2025, aiming to codify five executive orders from former President Trump. The bill seeks to address issues related to waste, accountability, and modernization within the federal government.

Rep. Steube stated, "This bill locks in President Trump’s America First reforms and strikes at the heart of the bloated federal bureaucracy. For too long, unelected bureaucrats have operated without consequence, pushing regulations that punish the American people while protecting themselves. My bill puts a stop to it."

The proposed legislation includes several key measures: eliminating the Federal Executive Institute (EO 14207), modernizing Treasury payment systems (EO 14247), implementing stronger probationary periods for federal employees (EO 14284), addressing overcriminalization in federal regulations (EO 14294), and enhancing efficiency at the Office of the Federal Register (EO 14295).

According to Rep. Steube, "We are eliminating useless agencies, restoring accountability in the federal workforce, reducing overcriminalization, and modernizing government operations. To put it simply, this bill delivers the accountability that the deep state fears."

The act aims to strengthen performance standards within the federal workforce, improve regulatory transparency, and update how government services are delivered to Americans.

Rep. Steube is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and continues his efforts to reduce government size and protect taxpayers.
