Bill Summary
A BILL To amend chapter 6 of title 5, United States Code, to provide additional requirements for the periodic review of rules, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing federal regulations regarding agency rule reviews, requiring each government agency to periodically review its rules to ensure they remain effective and do not disproportionately impact small businesses. Specifically, agencies must review all existing rules within ten years of the bill's enactment and review any new rules within ten years of their publication. The bill introduces a new annual requirement for agencies to publish a list in the Federal Register identifying rules that do not have a significant economic impact on small entities, along with the rationale for that determination. Additionally, the bill strengthens judicial oversight by allowing courts to prohibit the enforcement of a rule if an agency fails to comply with the required review process. This legislation aims to create a more dynamic and responsive regulatory environment by mandating regular reassessment of government rules and providing greater transparency about their potential economic effects, particularly on small businesses.
