Key Points

Requires the budget office to report within 180 days on how well federal rules are available in computer-friendly formats.
Directs the office that reviews regulations to issue guidance within 18 months on using tech (including AI tools) to spot outdated, conflicting, or overly burdensome rules.
Tells each federal agency to submit a review plan within 2 years, explaining how it will use the guidance and which rules should be re-checked after they’re issued.
After an agency files its plan, it must start carrying it out within 180 days for future reviews of its existing regulations.
Could affect the public by making rule updates faster and easier to track, but it does not directly change any specific rule by itself.

The bill is sponsored by a Representative from Arizona, but it creates nationwide requirements for federal agencies rather than Arizona-specific programs. Arizona residents and businesses would be affected in the same general way as people in other states if federal rules they deal with get simplified or updated.
