Federal Regulation Review: Less Bureaucracy, More Transparency
This act mandates a review of existing federal regulations to ensure their effectiveness and justified costs. Agencies must repeal old rules before reintroducing them, and new regulations will be harder to implement, aiming to reduce burdens on citizens and businesses. Citizens will have more influence over the rulemaking process.
