Guidance Clarity Act: Agencies must clearly inform citizens

A new act requires government agencies to include a clear statement on documents that are not law but aim to clarify existing regulations. This will help citizens better understand what constitutes binding law and what is merely guidance, potentially simplifying navigation through regulations and avoiding misunderstandings.
Key points
Government agencies must clearly indicate which documents are only guidance and not binding law.
The guidance clarity statement must be prominently displayed on the first page of the document.
The goal is to improve citizens' understanding of what is binding law versus mere explanation.
