Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs federal agencies to modernize how they review existing regulations by using technology like artificial intelligence and algorithmic tools. Within 18 months of the bill's enactment, the Office of Management and Budget must issue guidance to agencies on how to use these technologies to identify outdated, ineffective, contradictory, or burdensome regulations more efficiently. Within two years, each federal agency must submit a plan describing how it will implement this guidance and identify which of its regulations need review, with implementation required within six months after that. The bill also requires an initial report within 180 days assessing whether federal regulations are available to the public in machine-readable digital formats. No specific funding is authorized in the legislation, though the requirements impose new planning and reporting obligations on federal agencies and oversight committees in Congress.
