Modernizing Retrospective Regulatory Review

Summary#

The bill would require a report on whether federal regulations are available to the public in machine-readable formats. It would also direct the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance on using technology, including algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence, to review existing regulations. Within two years of enactment, each agency would have to submit a plan for using that guidance and identify regulations for review. Agencies would then have 180 days to begin carrying out their plans.
