Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Federal agencies could not issue a new regulation unless they first repeal at least three existing regulations, when practical on related topics.
- For big, high-impact regulations, agencies would also have to show the new rule’s cost is no more than the total cost of the rules they repeal.
- A federal office within the budget agency would have to certify the cost comparison for these big rules before they could take effect.
- Any rules removed under this system would have to be publicly listed in the Federal Register so people can see what changed.
- Within 90 days after the law is enacted, each agency head would have to send Congress a review naming rules that are costly, outdated, duplicative, or ineffective.
