American Family Cost-of-Living Relief Act of 2026

This bill would require federal agencies to prepare a household cost impact analysis when they propose a rule, publish it for public comment, and publish a final version when the rule is finalized. An agency could not finalize a rule that would raise household costs by $50 or more a year unless the rule is required by law or is needed to address an imminent national security threat or a presidentially declared disaster or emergency, with certification to Congress. Rules finalized under that exception could stay in effect for no more than 1 year unless later authorized by law. The Office of Management and Budget would publish a yearly report identifying major rules that have raised household costs, and households harmed by a final agency action could ask a court to review whether the agency followed these requirements.
