Bill Summary

DRAIN the Swamp Act of 2017 Determining if Regulatory Actions are in the Interest of the Nation or the Swamp Act of 2017

AI Summary

This bill, the "Determining if Regulatory Actions are in the Interest of the Nation or the Swamp Act of 2017" or the "DRAIN the Swamp Act of 2017," amends federal law to require agencies to submit an assessment and quantification of any regulatory conflicts of interest to the Comptroller General for each major rule they propose or finalize. The bill also exempts certain rules from this requirement and defines key terms like "major rule" and "regulatory conflict of interest." Additionally, the bill directs the Administrative Conference of the United States to study compliance with the Act and effective measures to minimize regulatory capture. The bill limits judicial review of agency compliance with the Act's provisions and specifies that the Act only applies to agency rules for which a notice of proposed rulemaking is issued on or after the date of enactment.
