The bill includes provisions that would require federal agencies to submit reports to Congress on all regulations issued, making it easier for lawmakers to identify which regulations they want to review.

This would give lawmakers more time to thoroughly examine regulations and make informed decisions about whether or not to overturn them. Overall, the Congressional Review Act Improvement Act aims to make the process of reviewing and overturning regulations more efficient and transparent. It is intended to empower Congress to act as a check on the regulatory power of federal agencies and ensure that regulations are in the best interest of the American people.
