EXPERTS Act of 2025

This bill changes how federal agencies write regulations. People who submit studies during public comment periods would have to disclose who funded them and who reviewed them, and agencies would post those studies and any funding conflicts publicly. Public companies that knowingly submit false information would face civil penalties starting at $250,000. The bill would require courts to defer to reasonable agency interpretations of unclear laws, set a 6-year deadline to sue over agency actions, limit negotiated rulemaking to talks among governments, and create an Office of the Public Advocate in the Office of Management and Budget. It would also let agencies reinstate rules previously overturned under the Congressional Review Act and require written agency responses to petitions with more than 100,000 signatures.
