Faster Government Agency Responses to Congressional Inquiries
New rules aim to speed up how Congress gets information from government agencies. This means citizens can expect more transparency and quicker problem-solving, as Congress will have better access to data needed for decision-making.
Key points
Government agencies must respond to Congressional committee requests within 45 days, or by an alternative deadline set by the committee.
Fewer committee members (7 in the House, 5 in the Senate) can now independently request information.
Committees can sue in court if an agency fails to provide requested information on time.
