AUSTIN — Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 14, also known as Texas DOGE, into law at the Texas Capitol in Austin. Passed during the 89th Regular Legislative Session, this law will empower the Texas government to be more efficient and less intrusive in the daily lives of Texans.
“We are putting at the forefront of legislation the shaping, formation, and recalibration of government in the State of Texas to make it more responsive and more efficient,” said Governor Abbott. “We in Texas will now have our own DOGE, known as the Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office. This law will slash regulations, put stricter standards on new regulations that could be costly to businesses, and put a check on the growth of the administrative state. This will make government more efficient and less costly, ensuring that Texas operates at the speed of business. I am proud of everything the Texas Senate and House were able to achieve to get this bill to my desk, which is now law.”
The Governor was joined at the bill signing by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker Dustin Burrows, Senator Phil King, Representative Giovanni Capriglione, National Federation of Independent Business Texas State Director Jeff Burdett, and other members of the Texas Legislature and business leaders.
