This bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in future presidential executive orders, especially those concerning natural resources and the environment. Citizens will gain earlier access to information about planned orders, allowing them to better understand their potential impact on daily life and the environment. The President will be required to publicly explain how orders align with existing law and the Constitution, and with whom their content was consulted.
Key points
The President must announce planned environmental executive orders 30 days before issuance, making their text and explanations public.
Information will include which federal laws are affected, how the order aligns with the Constitution, and a list of consulted organizations.
Every 6-12 months, the President must report on the outcomes of issued orders, increasing their accountability.
