Modernizing Federal Rules: Faster Digital Access to Government Regulations.

This Act modernizes how federal rules and regulations are published, shifting the focus from physical printing to digital publishing. Citizens gain faster and more reliable access to new regulations, as documents must be immediately available for public inspection upon filing. A key improvement is the introduction of electronic tools allowing users to track the exact version of regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations applicable on any specific date.
