AI Summary
This bill, the Coronavirus Regulatory Repeal Act of 2020, proposes to repeal or modify any agency regulation that was temporarily waived or modified during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency. It establishes Federal Regulatory Review Commissions composed of congressional committee members and agency heads to review these regulations and recommend whether they should be reinstated or remain repealed/modified when the emergency period ends. The bill also requires agency heads to analyze whether the regulations can function without the waiver or modification and provide a public comment period before submitting their reports to Congress. Congress will then make final recommendations on whether the regulations should be re-established.
