Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to set up a yearly process that uses an artificial intelligence system to find federal regulations that are redundant or outdated. Regulations flagged by the system would be sent to the agency that issued them, and agency staff would have 30 days to make a final decision on whether each regulation is redundant or outdated. Within 30 days after that decision, the agency would have to remove redundant regulations and either update or remove outdated ones, without following the usual public notice-and-comment rulemaking steps. Each decision and a short written explanation would be posted on the agency's website.
