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, aims to increase accountability and transparency in the federal regulatory process. The key provisions of the bill are:
1. It requires that major rules (rules with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more, a major increase in costs or prices, or significant adverse effects) must be approved by a joint resolution of Congress before they can take effect. This gives Congress more oversight over the executive branch's rulemaking process.
2. It establishes expedited procedures for congressional consideration of these joint resolutions of approval, including time limits and limits on amendments and debate.
3. It requires federal agencies to provide detailed information to Congress on major rules, including cost-benefit analyses and other supporting data, when they submit the rules for congressional review.
4. It directs the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the number and estimated economic cost of all rules currently in effect.
Overall, the bill's purpose is to shift more power over federal regulations from the executive branch to Congress, with the goal of improving the transparency and accountability of the regulatory process.
