Push CRA, REINS, and Midnight Rules Relief Act to strip agency rulemaking
Mandate calls for working with Congress on Regulatory Accountability Act, REINS, GOOD Act, and Midnight Rules Relief Act packaging so Congress can undo multiple ‘midnight’ rules and guidance on an accelerated timeline.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 2 (Executive Office of the President) — Regulatory and Information Policy: work with Congress to pass Regulatory Accountability Act, SMART Act, GOOD Act, Early Participation in Regulations Act, Unfunded Mandates Accountability and Transparency Act, and REINS Act; maximize CRA utility via Midnight Rules Relief Act packaging of multiple regulatory actions.
Undo plan
1) Oppose or repeal REINS-style statutes that convert major rules into congressional veto traps.
2) Defend CRA as a targeted tool, not a mass nullification package for entire regulatory regimes.
3) Restore notice-and-comment capacity and agency scientific/technical staffing cut during deregulatory sweeps.
4) Codify clear major-rule thresholds that do not freeze health, safety, and financial protections.
5) Verify: congressional CRA resolutions catalogued; agency capacity metrics for unfinished statutory rulemakings.
