The House of Representatives has passed on third reading the bill that seeks to enforce the “rightsizing” program of national government.
The measure was enacted on Wednesday with a vote of 230-6-0.
It creates a committee that will oversee the streamlining of government employees and personnel.
It grants the President the power to modify and convert to appropriate size the number of workers involved in the operations of the executive branch and purse functional shifts and modifications.
