Safeguarding US Rulemaking Act

Key Points

• This bill would stop foreign governments and people from countries labeled as adversaries from giving feedback on new U.S. rules. Right now, federal agencies usually let anyone submit public comments before a new regulation is finished.
• The ban would apply to countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. It covers the governments of those countries, people who live there, and companies that are based there.
• The goal is to prevent hostile foreign powers from interfering in how the U.S. government makes decisions. It wants to make sure that only Americans and their allies influence the rules that affect life in the United States.
• Under this plan, these foreign groups would also be blocked from asking agencies to create or change specific rules. This would limit their ability to use official legal channels to lobby the government.
