Improved Review of Major Regulations: Agencies Must Assess Effectiveness

The SMART Act of 2022 mandates that government agencies assess the impact and effectiveness of significant regulations (referred to as "major rules") both before and after their implementation. This ensures that regulations achieve their intended goals and allows for their modification or removal if they prove ineffective or outdated.
Key points
Agencies must outline how they will measure the effectiveness of new major rules before they are enacted.
Major rules must be assessed within a timeframe of not more than 10 years after their effective date to ensure they meet their objectives.
Citizens will have opportunities to provide input on rule assessments and petition for reviews.
Assessment results will be published on a centralized website, enhancing transparency regarding agency actions.
