Improved Review of Major Regulations: SMART Act 2025

The SMART Act of 2025 mandates post-implementation review of major federal regulations. This ensures new rules achieve their intended benefits without unduly burdening citizens or businesses. Citizens can expect more effective and less burdensome laws as a result.
Key points
Federal agencies must plan how they will assess the effectiveness and costs of new, major regulations before they take effect.
After major regulations are implemented, agencies will be required to regularly check if they are achieving their objectives, are outdated, or conflict with other rules.
The results of these assessments will be publicly available, increasing government transparency and allowing citizens to better understand the impact of regulations on their lives.
The goal is to ensure regulations are effective, do not generate unnecessary costs, and do not hinder citizens' lives or business activities.
