Oklahoma – Governor Kevin Stitt issued Executive Order 2025-04, creating the Division of Government Efficiency (DOGE-OK) within the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES). The new division will build on past efficiency initiatives and focus on eliminating wasteful government spending, improving efficiency, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used effectively across state government.
“Today, I’m launching DOGE-OK to keep the focus on flat budgets and limiting government,” Governor Stitt said. “Our top responsibility as leaders is ensuring we are working on behalf of all four million Oklahomans in the most efficient way possible. DOGE-OK will help identify and root out inefficiencies and government waste. It’s an essential part of making us a top ten state.”
DOGE-OK is authorized to collaborate with state agencies, officials, and existing government efficiency initiatives to identify and eliminate waste. The executive order creates the unpaid position of Chief DOGE Advisor, who will report directly to Governor Stitt, lead the division independently, and receive broad authority to review agency budgets and operations. The order also requires state agency directors to take immediate steps to ensure DOGE-OK receives full access to agency records, data, software systems, and IT systems.
By March 31, 2025, DOGE-OK will submit a report outlining strategies for efficiency, recommendations for fiscal reforms, and specific agency budget findings.
