The LIBERATE Act would create a task force led by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. It would include a representative from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and 16 private-sector members appointed by congressional leaders. The task force would review federal regulations that may affect competition, business costs, permitting, energy production, mining, or investment. It would recommend changes, consolidation, or repeal and report its findings to Congress. The bill also sets procedures for Congress to consider joint resolutions that would repeal regulations recommended by the task force.
Members of the public could submit written recommendations about covered regulations through the task force website, Regulations.gov, by mail, or by other written means. The task force would also hold public outreach and focus groups. It would publish recommendations and consider public input in its reports.
The bill authorizes no additional funding. The task force would use funds already available to the Office of Management and Budget. Task force members would not be paid for serving.
