Bill > S644

This bill aims to improve how federal agencies review and update their existing regulations by introducing several key requirements. The bill mandates that within 180 days, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will submit a report assessing the progress of making federal regulations available in machine-readable format, which means in a digital format that can be easily processed by computer systems. Within 18 months, the same director must issue guidance on how agencies can use advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and algorithmic tools to conduct more efficient and accurate reviews of their existing regulations. Each agency will be required to develop a detailed plan within two years that outlines their strategy for reviewing regulations, identifying which regulations need review, and determining how they will implement technological approaches to that review. The guidance will help agencies identify regulations that are obsolete, ineffective, overly burdensome, contain errors, or are redundant. Additionally, the bill requires agencies to adequately train their personnel on using these new technological review methods. Ultimately, the bill seeks to modernize and streamline the regulatory review process by leveraging technology and creating a more systematic approach to evaluating existing federal regulations.
