Bill Summary
A BILL To amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide that major rules of the executive branch shall have no force or effect unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law.
AI Summary
This bill, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2021, would require major executive branch rules to be approved by Congress through a joint resolution before they can take effect. The bill aims to increase accountability and transparency in the federal regulatory process by requiring a congressional vote on major rules. It defines a "major rule" as one that is likely to have an annual economic impact of $100 million or more, significantly increase costs or prices, or have significant adverse effects. The bill lays out detailed procedures for Congress to review and vote on major rules, as well as a separate process for congressional disapproval of non-major rules. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to study the number and economic impact of existing federal rules.
