Fewer Regulations: Agencies Must Repeal Old Rules Before Adopting New Ones.
This bill aims to reduce the number of federal regulations. It requires government agencies to repeal at least two existing rules before implementing one new, significant rule. This is intended to limit regulatory burdens and may affect how quickly and what new rules are introduced, indirectly impacting citizens through changes in services or requirements.
Key points
Government agencies must repeal at least two old rules before adopting one new, major rule.
New rules cannot exceed the total cost of the repealed rules, unless legally required or approved by the Office of Management and Budget.
Rules related to the Armed Forces, national security, foreign affairs, and agency internal organization are exempt from this requirement.
