Bill > HR510

This bill, known as the "Regulatory Cooling Off Act of 2025," proposes significant changes to how federal agencies implement new rules. The legislation would require agencies to delay the implementation of new regulations by 6 months, during which time they must submit the finalized rule to Congress and notify relevant committees. Agencies would be required to provide at least 60 days for public comment, submit the rule to Congress at least 6 months before its effective date, publish a notice in the Federal Register when the rule takes effect, and post the rule on their website at least 24 hours before publication. Additionally, the bill expands legal venue options for challenges to agency rules, allowing plaintiffs to file lawsuits in the district court where they reside or in any district where the agency has an office. Congress would also have an extended 6-month review period to potentially block or approve the rule, unless they pass a joint resolution explicitly approving it. The overall intent of the bill appears to be increasing transparency, providing more time for public and congressional review, and giving stakeholders more opportunities to understand and potentially challenge new federal regulations.
