Executive Orders Must Include Public Inflation Cost Estimates.
This law mandates that the President must publicly assess the potential inflationary impact of all major Executive Orders before they are implemented. The goal is to increase transparency regarding how significant government actions might affect citizens' cost of living and personal finances. These assessments must detail the impact on consumer prices, including food and energy costs, and be made publicly available online.
Key points
Requires the Executive Branch to forecast the inflationary effects of any major Executive Order projected to cost over $1 million annually.
Estimates must specifically detail the impact on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), broken down by categories like Food and Energy, and consider rural and military spending patterns.
The results of these inflation analyses must be published annually on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) public website for citizen review.
