Children's Protection: Agencies to Assess Rule Impact on Youth

This act requires government agencies to analyze how new rules might affect children. The goal is to ensure government decisions consider children's safety, health, and development, and that citizens have insight into these analyses and can provide feedback.
Key points
Government agencies must assess how proposed rules impact children, including their physical safety, mental and physical health, family relationships, economic security, and education.
Experts, including pediatricians and child advocacy representatives, will participate in these impact assessments.
Citizens will have the opportunity to comment on these analyses, allowing them to influence the development of rules affecting children.
The act aims to increase transparency and accountability of agencies in the rulemaking process to better protect children's interests.
