Ensuring Accountability in Agency Rulemaking Act

Bill 119 HR 418, also known as the "Require Agency Rule Signatures Act," aims to ensure accountability and transparency within government agencies by requiring the head of an agency to personally issue and sign off on any rule that is issued by that agency. This bill seeks to prevent the delegation of rule-making authority to lower-level officials and hold agency heads responsible for the rules that are put into place.

The bill does not specify which agencies it applies to, but it is intended to apply to all federal agencies. By requiring agency heads to personally sign off on rules, the bill aims to increase oversight and ensure that rules are in line with the agency's mission and goals.

In addition to requiring agency heads to sign off on rules, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although the specifics of these purposes are not outlined in the bill itself. Overall, the bill seeks to increase accountability and transparency within government agencies by ensuring that agency heads take responsibility for the rules that are put into place.
