Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2017

Bill 115 s 21, also known as the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2017, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to increase congressional oversight over federal regulations issued by executive branch agencies.

Under this bill, any regulation with an economic impact of $100 million or more would be subject to congressional approval before it can take effect. This would require the executive branch to submit the regulation to Congress for review and approval, giving lawmakers the opportunity to scrutinize the potential impact of the regulation on the economy and the American people.

The bill also includes provisions to expedite the review process, allowing Congress to fast-track approval for regulations that are deemed necessary for national security or emergency situations. Additionally, the bill includes measures to increase transparency and accountability in the regulatory process, requiring agencies to provide detailed justifications for their regulations and allowing for public input and feedback. Overall, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2017 aims to ensure that federal regulations are carefully considered and thoroughly vetted before they are implemented, in order to protect the interests of the American people and prevent unnecessary burdens on businesses and individuals.
