Fewer Regulations: Agencies Must Repeal Old Rules Before Issuing New Ones

This new law requires government agencies to eliminate ten existing regulations before introducing a single new one. The goal is to reduce the overall number of regulations, potentially making life easier for citizens and businesses by removing outdated or costly rules. Agencies will also need to review their current regulations for effectiveness and cost.
Key points
Agencies must repeal 10 old rules before issuing 1 new rule to reduce regulatory burdens.
For major new rules, their cost must be less than or equal to the cost of the repealed rules.
Agencies will be required to review and report which of their current rules are costly, ineffective, duplicative, or outdated.
The changes apply to rules that impose costs or responsibilities on non-governmental persons or state/local governments.
