AI Summary

This bill, known as the Experts Protect Effective Rules, Transparency, and Stability Act of 2025 (EXPERTS Act), is a comprehensive legislative effort to enhance transparency, accountability, and public participation in the federal rulemaking process. The bill introduces several key provisions, including requiring detailed disclosure of conflicts of interest for scientific, economic, and technical studies submitted during rulemaking, establishing a new Office of the Public Advocate to assist with public participation in regulatory processes, and setting stricter timelines for agencies to complete rulemaking procedures. It mandates that agencies provide more information about rule changes, expand public awareness of rulemaking proceedings, and create mechanisms for public petitions. The bill also modifies the review process for agency actions, introduces penalties for submitting false information, and requires agencies to consider non-quantifiable benefits and social equity impacts when developing regulations. Additionally, the legislation streamlines the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) review process, establishes a six-year statute of limitations for challenging agency actions, and provides a pathway for reinstating previously disapproved rules. The overarching goal is to make the rulemaking process more transparent, responsive, and equitable while maintaining agencies' ability to effectively implement congressional mandates.
