Increased Transparency for Economic Regulations: New Public Information

The new ALERT Act aims to enhance transparency in government agencies' rulemaking processes. Citizens will gain easier access to information about planned regulations, their costs, and economic impact, enabling them to better understand the consequences of legal changes.
Key points
Government agencies will monthly publish information on planned regulations, including their objectives, legal basis, and estimated costs.
Citizens will learn if an agency plans a cost-benefit analysis for a rule and if it anticipates an impact on job numbers.
Most new rules will take effect only after 6 months of public information availability, allowing time to review the changes.
Annual cumulative reports will include data on all proposed and finalized rules, their costs, and agency actions like repealing or reducing the scope of regulations.
