At the start of the 114th Congress, Rep. Jason Chaffetz took over as chairman of the full committee, as the previous chairman Darrell Issa had to step down due to term limits. In December 2014 Chaffetz announced he the committee would be reorganized, and several subcommittees would have their names changed to "allow the subcommittee Chairs and Members to take a new approach to addressing the matters that come before the committee." The Subcommittee on Federal Workforce and Subcommittee on Domestic Policy were eliminated, and combined with the Subcommittee on Government Operations. The Energy Policy and health Sub was split into a new Interior Subcommittee to oversee energy and environment policy matters and a separate Health Care subcommittee, which also took over the roll of the now defunct Economic Growth Committee. The Technology committee was renamed simply Information Technology and finally a new subcommittee on Transportation and Public Assets.
