Unfunded Mandates Accountability and Transparency Act of 2025

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It requires federal agencies to prepare and publish an initial and final regulatory impact analysis, covering costs, benefits, alternatives, and job effects, before issuing any major rule, generally one with an annual economic effect of $100 million or more. Agencies would have to pick the alternative that maximizes net benefits unless the White House regulatory office approves an exception, and they would have to consult state, local, and Tribal officials and private-sector parties, including small businesses. The bill also applies these rules to independent regulatory agencies (except Federal Reserve monetary policy), requires public notice at least 90 days before proposing a major rule, and lets people harmed by a rule ask a court to review whether the agency followed these steps.
