Bill overview

The Eliminate Useless Reports Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to identify and report on outdated or duplicative reporting requirements in their annual budget requests. Agencies must detail recommendations for ending, modifying, or reducing these reports, cite the laws requiring them, and list the relevant congressional committees. The Office of Management and Budget will also review recurring reports submitted by multiple agencies to determine if they are unnecessary and make recommendations to Congress. This aims to reduce the burden of reporting on agencies and Congress.
