Rep. Stutzman Introduces Restoring Checks and Balances Act to Sunset Federal Rules After 5 Years
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by two House committees. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Labor regulations that unions have fought to establish, including rules about collective bargaining procedures, overtime protections, and workplace safety standards, would all face automatic expiration after five years. Union members could see hard-won protections disappear if Congress does not prioritize reauthorization. The sheer volume of regulations that would need reauthorization makes it likely some worker-protection rules would lapse.
Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
