Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill, introduced by Senator Husted and others, would require the government to use artificial intelligence to scan all federal rules every year. The goal is to find regulations that are either repeats of other rules or are so old they no longer apply because of new technology or laws.
• Once the AI finds a potential problem, the agency in charge of that rule has 30 days to decide if the AI is right. If the agency agrees the rule is a duplicate or out of date, they must delete or update it within another 30 days.
• To speed things up, the bill lets agencies skip the usual process where they have to ask the public for feedback before changing a rule. This means the government could remove rules much faster than usual, but it also means regular people and businesses might not get a chance to voice their concerns first.
• The National Institute of Standards and Technology would set strict rules for the AI to make sure it is accurate and doesn't create national security risks. Every year, officials would check the system to make sure the AI is still working correctly and fairly.
