Legislative Progress
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the office that reviews regulations to issue guidance within 18 months on using tech (including AI tools) to spot outdated, conflicting, or overly burdensome rules.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.
