A bill to increase access to agency guidance documents.

Bill 119 s 252, also known as the "Increase Access to Agency Guidance Documents Act," aims to improve transparency and accessibility to guidance documents issued by federal agencies. These guidance documents provide information and instructions on how agencies interpret and enforce laws and regulations.

The bill requires agencies to make all guidance documents publicly available on their websites, with certain exceptions for documents that are confidential or internal. It also mandates that agencies establish procedures for the public to request and obtain guidance documents, as well as to track and report on the use of these documents.

Additionally, the bill prohibits agencies from using guidance documents to create new legal obligations or enforceable rights, ensuring that guidance documents are used appropriately and do not circumvent the rulemaking process. Overall, Bill 119 s 252 seeks to promote transparency, accountability, and public participation in the regulatory process by increasing access to agency guidance documents and ensuring they are used in a fair and consistent manner.
