Let’s get efficient!
AUSTIN, TX – Texas is stepping up in a big way to fight government waste and protect taxpayers. A new bill, Senate Bill 14 (S.B. 14), is set to establish a Department of Government Efficiency inside the Governor’s Office — taking direct inspiration from President Donald Trump’s bold reforms and Elon Musk’s cost-cutting innovations.
With the bill passing both chambers of the Texas Legislature, it now heads to Governor Greg Abbott for final approval. If signed, this powerful legislation will make Texas a national leader in regulatory reform, conservative governance, and taxpayer protection.
🔧 Conservative Reform That Cuts Red Tape and Saves Tax Dollars
S.B. 14, introduced by State Sen. Phil King (R-Weatherford) and backed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, creates the Texas Regulatory Office to root out waste, simplify regulations, and put the brakes on costly red tape.
“President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency inspired this effort,” Patrick said. “It’s about time Texas followed suit. This bill saves money, supports businesses, and puts taxpayers first.”
🏛️ What the New Texas Efficiency Office Will Do:
- Cut Unnecessary Regulations: Review and eliminate outdated, costly, or burdensome state rules.
- Plain Language Policies: Require agencies to use simple, easy-to-understand language in all regulations.
- Lower Fees, Less Paperwork: Streamline forms and reduce government-imposed fees.
- Real Cost-Benefit Analysis: Force agencies to justify new rules with clear, transparent data.
- Empower the Courts: Shift power away from bloated bureaucracies and return it to the judicial system.
- Create a Searchable Public Portal: Texans can look up agency rules by topic, industry, or NAICS code.
💡 Inspired by Elon Musk’s $155 Billion Government Savings
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the federal level has already saved American taxpayers a reported $155 billion by canceling wasteful contracts, downsizing bloated departments, and improving efficiency across agencies.
Now, Texas is following that model, proving once again that common-sense, conservative solutions work.
🇺🇸 Why This Matters to Conservatives
If you’re a hardworking American concerned about high taxes, government overreach, or small business struggles, this reform is for you. S.B. 14 delivers the kind of real-world conservative leadership that puts freedom, efficiency, and prosperity first.
This is what America First governance looks like at the state level — and it’s a model other states should follow.
