Earlier Public Input on Major Government Regulations

This new law requires government agencies to provide earlier notice of significant regulatory changes. This gives citizens and businesses more time to submit feedback and suggestions, potentially influencing the final shape of regulations before they are formally proposed.
Key points
Increased Public Influence: Agencies must publish advance notices for "major rules" (e.g., those with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more, or significantly increasing costs for consumers) 90 days before official proposals.
More Time for Feedback: Citizens and interested parties will have at least 30 days to submit written data, views, and arguments on preliminary proposals.
Greater Transparency: Advance notices will include a description of the problem the agency aims to address, potential regulatory alternatives, and the legal authority for proposed changes.
