Texas has created its own version of DOGE that is intended to slash regulations and get rid of some rules that are too burdensome, officials said Wednesday.

An advisory panel would be created to work with the governor's office to streamline processes. It would be made up of business owners, researchers, state agencies and the public.

The bill also aims to create an accessible online portal, so the public can look up state regulations.

Abbott said DOGE "crystalized" what Texas lawmakers were seeking to achieve. 

"It gave strategies to it," he said. "Texas DOGE will lead to spending cuts, regulation cuts and a more user-friendly government."
