FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DOGE Hearing Achieves Results
Position: The release states that a DOGE subcommittee hearing on fraud and mismanagement in federally funded homelessness services in Los Angeles produced results, including a resignation and federal charges, and that the investigation continues with subpoenas planned. It asserts that LAHSA has ceased distributing homelessness funding in Los Angeles.
Washington, D.C. (09/18/2026): As a result of the DOGE hearing, “Fixing Fraud and Failure in Federally Funded Homelessness Services,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has resigned from the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) Commission, and the Department of Justice has charged multiple individuals associated with organizations that contracted with LAHSA.
This hearing highlighted serious concerns about fraud, mismanagement, and accountability within Los Angeles’ homelessness system. More than $1 billion in federal taxpayer dollars have been distributed to LAHSA, yet it is largely unaccounted for. What was found was free drug paraphernalia being widely distributed.
LAHSA has now ceased serving as the distributor of homelessness funding in Los Angeles, but the investigation is not over. Mayor Bass’s cowardly resignation will not stop the committee from issuing subpoenas and demanding answers. The American people deserve to know how their tax dollars were spent, who benefited, and who will be held accountable.
“The DOGE Subcommittee is tasked with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and that is exactly what we have done,” said Rep. Tim Burchett. “This is just one of many examples of how Republicans and the Trump Administration are committing to bringing transparency to government.”

Rep. Tim Burchett Drops Two Bills to Address Affordability
Position: Supports two bills imposing export controls on diesel fuel, one banning diesel exports until January 2027 and one restricting exports when the national average diesel price reaches $5 per gallon, arguing that exports raise domestic diesel prices and that refiners are overcharging.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett filed two bills to address the rising price of diesel fuel in the United States, which would make the lives of ALL Americans more affordable.
H.R. 10423 implements an export control (ban) on diesel fuel until January 2027.
H.R. 10422 implements an export control on diesel if the average national price hits $5 per gallon. The control would be lifted when prices drop at or below $4.50 per gallon for 30 consecutive days.
Diesel fuel powers the trucks, farm equipment, and machinery that keep our economy moving, meaning higher fuel costs are ultimately passed on to consumers through higher prices for groceries, goods, and services. By addressing diesel prices, these bills will provide relief to American families and businesses.
“Diesel export controls drive down prices while also helping Americans keep more money in their pockets,” said Rep. Burchett. “Refiners typically make a profit of around $15 per barrel, or roughly 35 cents per gallon. Instead, refiners are choosing to sell their diesel for higher prices in Europe. Shipping American diesel overseas reduces domestic supply drives up prices at home. Today, refiners are profiting $117 per barrel, or $2.78 per gallon. That is a nearly 800% increase. American companies should prioritize American consumers and keep American diesel in America.”

Congressman Burchett Introduces Bill to Allow to President to Issue Cyber Letters of Marque and Reprisal
Position: The release supports legislation authorizing the President to commission private contractors and entities to conduct limited cyberspace operations against cybercrime and threats to national security.
Washington, D.C. (07/15/2026) -- Today, Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) introduced the Cyber Letters of Marque and Reprisal Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Senate version of this legislation.
Cybercrime poses a persistent and evolving threat to the United States, targeting individuals, businesses, and government institutions. Everything from financial scams to terrorist plots are facilitated through a vast cyberspace that our government agencies are tasked with protecting.
The Cyber Letters of Marque and Reprisal Act authorizes the President to commission private contractors and entities for the purpose of conducting limited cyberspace operations. Deputizing American patriots will bolster our ability to protect the U.S. against cyber criminals.
“Widespread cybercrime represents an existential threat to our national security,” said Congressman Burchett. “Allowing private operators to aid the federal government in combatting these crimes will strengthen our ability to defend the United States against terrorism. I am proud to partner with Senator Lee again to protect Americans. He continues to be a strong advocate for cyber security in Congress”

For Immediate Release: Congressman Burchett Introduces Bill to Improve SNAP Trafficking Data
Position: Supports legislation to improve collection of SNAP trafficking data for oversight and to increase penalties for SNAP trafficking from $100,000 to $250,000.
Washington, D.C. (07/14/2026) -- Yesterday, Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) introduced the Stop Retail Food Store SNAP Trafficking Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Low-income families rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for vital access to food security. SNAP trafficking occurs when benefits are illegally exchanged for cash or non-eligible goods.
The Stop Retail Food Store SNAP Trafficking Act improves the collection of SNAP trafficking data to enable better oversight of potential abuse across the country. Additionally, this legislation strengthens enforcement by increasing penalties on malicious actors from $100,000 to $250,000.
“SNAP has become notorious for being plagued with fraud and abuse,” said Rep. Burchett. “My bill will empower the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct better oversight to ensure that your taxpayer money is being used to serve the least amongst us, not fraudsters.”

Congressman Burchett’s Fraud Bill Passes the House
Position: The release states that the Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act passed the House, establishing a GAO program to assess federally funded state-administered programs for vulnerability to waste, fraud, and abuse. The sponsor argues that rigorous federal oversight of state-administered funds is necessary.
Washington, D.C. (06/08/2026) -- Today, Congressman Burchett’s (TN-02) bill, the Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act, passed the US House of Representatives.
The bill, co-led with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), will establish a program in the office of the Comptroller General (GAO) to produce a recurring assessment of federally funded State-administered programs. This assessment will identify programs and administrative practices most vulnerable to the abuse of federal tax dollars.
“I’m tired of turning on the TV and seeing the misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars,” said Congressman Burchett. “As trillions of taxpayer dollars flow to state and local governments, every dollar must be safeguarded against waste, fraud, and abuse. Congress has a responsibility to conduct rigorous oversight, track how these funds are spent, and ensure taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently and as intended.”

DOGE Subcommittee Chairman Burchett and Ranking Member Stansbury Introduce the Duplication Scoring Act
Position: The release advocates for legislation requiring the Government Accountability Office to review bills for duplication of existing federal programs and share findings publicly, framed as a measure to reduce government waste and spending.
Washington, D.C. (03/26/2026) -- Today, Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairman Tim Burchett (TN-02) and Ranking Member Melanie Stansbury (NM-01) introduced the Duplication Scoring Act. This bill will require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to review bills reported by committees for potential duplication of existing federal programs. The GAO will also be required to share its findings with the Congressional Budget Office for public release.
“When Chairman Comer named me Chairman of the DOGE Subcommittee, I promised to produce legislation that addresses the problems that we uncover as a committee,” said Congressman Burchett (TN-02). “The United States is spiraling towards $40 trillion dollars in debt, and yet we are continuing to waste money on duplicative programs every day. I am proud to have bipartisan support on this bill, and I hope it will bring more transparency to what we are voting on and spending taxpayer money on.”
“This bill will help reduce duplication and ensure federal programs can deliver for our communities,” said Rep. Stansbury (NM-01). “We need federal programs that deliver for the American people, which is why I’m proud to team up with Rep. Tim Burchett on this bipartisan Duplication Scoring Act. Modernizing these programs requires rolling up our sleeves and getting to work—which is why I’m grateful to be working with Rep. Burchett on this important work!”
"Washington has a spending problem, and duplicative federal programs are a big part of it. The Duplication Scoring Act brings much-needed transparency by exposing waste and redundancy in government spending. It’s a commonsense step toward accountability and respecting the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-09).

Rep. Burchett's Bill H.R. 2247 PASSES the House
Washington, D.C. (03/24/2026) — Today, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 2247, the Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act, a bill aimed at modernizing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspection processes by allowing pilots to present either physical or digital copies of legally required certification documents. H.R. 2247 was introduced by Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-02).
The legislation amends Title 49 of the United States Code to explicitly authorize airmen to use secure digital versions of their certificates, including those stored on mobile devices or cloud-based platforms, during FAA inspections. Under current practices, pilots are generally expected to carry physical documentation, which can be lost, damaged, or inaccessible in certain situations.
“Technology has advanced, and aviation regulations should reflect that,” said Rep. Burchett. “If passengers can have their boarding passes on their phones, pilots should be able to digitally carry copies of certification documents. My bill will give pilots the flexibility to safely and securely present their credentials in a way that matches today’s digital world.”
