AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require federal agencies, when they publish a proposed major rule in the Federal Register, to also publish an analysis of how the rule could affect people living at, near, or below the poverty line and how it could affect racial inequity. It would also require the Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office, to publish a yearly electronic report for ten years on two to five government programs or policies with a substantial economic impact, examining the same effects. These analyses and reports may also cover effects on the racial wealth gap. The Office of Management and Budget and the Comptroller General would define key terms such as poverty line and racial inequity.
