Paperwork Reduction Modernization Act of 2026

This bill changes federal paperwork law so that agencies must look at ways to reduce the burden on people who give them information. Before collecting information, an agency would have to evaluate alternatives such as using data it or another agency already has, collecting information electronically, or using statistical sampling. The agency would also have to certify that each collection is the least burdensome way to get the needed information. Within 18 months of enactment and every 3 years after that, the Director would require each agency to review its information collections and identify ones that are unnecessary, could be changed to reduce burden, or duplicate another agency's collection.
