AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Jobs and Wages from Regulations Act of 2021, aims to reform the process by which federal agencies analyze and formulate new regulations and guidance documents. It defines a "negative-impact on jobs and wages rule" as any rule that is likely to reduce employment by 1% or more annually in a particular sector, reduce average weekly wages by 1% or more annually in a particular sector, or further reduce employment in an industry area with high unemployment. The bill requires agencies to consider various factors when engaging in rulemaking, such as legal authority, existing rules, reasonable alternatives, and potential costs and benefits, including impacts on jobs, wages, economic growth, and low-income populations.
