Eliminating Information Silos Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill codifies Executive Order 14243, identified in the bill as the order relating to stopping waste, fraud, and abuse by eliminating information silos. Because the bill gives that order the force and effect of law without restating the order text, the operative legal change is to make the order more durable and binding as statutory law rather than only a presidential directive.
Who Benefits and How
Inspectors general, federal anti-fraud investigators, program integrity teams, data-sharing officials, and taxpayers benefit if codification strengthens cross-agency access to information needed to detect waste, fraud, and abuse. Agencies trying to reconcile duplicate or fragmented program information may also gain clearer authority to break down internal data barriers.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal agencies, agency chief information officers, privacy officers, program integrity staff, records managers, and data-governance teams must comply with the codified order and balance anti-fraud data sharing with privacy, security, records, and systems-integration obligations. Agencies that previously treated the executive order as changeable policy would face a harder statutory mandate.
Key Provisions

- Strengthens the order relating to stopping waste, fraud, and abuse by eliminating information silos.
