Fewer Regulations: Agencies Must Repeal Old Rules Before Issuing New Ones
This new law requires government agencies to repeal three existing regulations before they can issue one new one. The goal is to reduce the total number of regulations and their associated costs, potentially impacting citizens' daily lives by simplifying procedures or lowering financial burdens related to rules.
