Federal Agencies Must Report Revoked Rules to GAO for Better Transparency.
This law requires federal agencies to notify the Government Accountability Office (GAO) about any rules that are revoked, amended, or otherwise made ineffective. While it doesn't change your personal rights, it increases government transparency by ensuring the public and Congress know exactly which regulations are currently active. This reporting requirement is set to expire after six years.
Key points
