HCR 50

Kentucky DOGE Legislation Introduced

TJ Roberts, a Kentucky State Representative, introduced HCR 50 to create the Kentucky Department of Government Efficiency (KY DOGE), aiming to investigate and improve state spending efficiency, with a hearing scheduled for the House State Government Committee.

The proposal ties into broader fiscal goals, including eliminating the state income tax and property taxes while maintaining a balanced budget, reflecting Roberts' "Faith, Freedom, Fighter" platform.

This initiative builds on related legislation, SB 257, proposed by Senator Tichenor, to establish a permanent Office of Government Efficiency for ongoing budget oversight.
