Rep. Schweikert Introduces RESTART SUNSET Act to Force Review of Old Federal Regulations
The RESTART SUNSET Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to the House Judiciary and Small Business committees for review. No further actions or votes have been scheduled at this time.
Federal employees at regulatory agencies would face a massive new workload: reviewing every existing rule within 10 years, plus reviewing all new rules on a rolling 10-year cycle and publishing annual small-business impact lists. Without additional funding or staffing, this could stretch agency resources thin and redirect staff away from other duties like writing new rules or enforcing existing ones.
“Each agency shall periodically review the rules”
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Small Business, 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.
