Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Small Business, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2026 modifies how federal agencies review their existing rules to ensure they remain necessary and effective. The bill requires agencies to solicit public comments on whether rules should stay in effect, conduct more thorough economic analyses of those rules, and provide detailed summaries and agency analysis of public feedback before completing reviews. Additionally, agencies must now track and report on compliance costs and paperwork burdens created by rules since they were enacted. The bill tightens timelines for agencies requesting delays in conducting these reviews, limiting extensions to one year at a time rather than allowing multi-year delays. These changes apply to all federal agencies and would make the regulatory review process more transparent and data-driven for businesses, workers, and the public.
