"The American people gave Washington a mandate in November—waste less, save more. Today I’m introducing a first set of bills to follow through on their mandate by prioritizing streamlined regulations, rule-making, and record keeping. It’s time to put government waste in the doghouse and let DOGE get to work," Lankford said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
DOGE was previously announced by Trump, who tapped billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new advisory board looking to cut government waste.

Additionally, Lankford is including the "ACCESS Act," which would prohibit minimum education requirements when it comes to government contractor personnel during certain federal contract discussions.
The Oklahoma Republican's slew of bills are just the latest from senators in the GOP eager to get involved with DOGE.

The Senate DOGE caucus is being led by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who has been a vocal critic of federal agencies and their telework policies in particular.
Republicans have sought to introduce many bills ahead of Trump's inauguration with the hope of getting the process started, so that certain policies can be put in motion shortly after he takes office.
