Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the rules federal agencies follow when they periodically review existing regulations that affect small entities. Agencies would have to ask the public whether each rule should stay in effect. An agency that delays a review would have to explain the delay, and the delay could be no more than one year instead of up to five years. Reviews would also have to consider the cost of complying with a rule and the paperwork hours it has required. Agencies would have to include an economic analysis of each rule and write a summary and analysis of public comments before conducting a review.
