In Case You Missed It: Executive Order on the Executive Branch

On March 13, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on the reorganization of the executive branch. The Order calls on the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to "propose a plan to reorganize governmental functions and eliminate unnecessary agencies." Additionally, the Order seeks input from the public on what efficiency improvements can be made.

While the open comment period has not yet opened, we encourage you to regularly check the Federal Register's OMB page to submit your suggestions when the period begins.
