What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2025," seeks to change how major federal regulations are implemented. It would amend the United States Code to require that major rules from executive branch agencies cannot take effect without a joint resolution of approval from Congress. The Act aims to increase accountability and transparency in the federal regulatory process. It requires agencies to submit detailed reports, including cost-benefit analyses, to Congress and the Comptroller General. Under this proposal, Congress would have a specific window to approve these major rules through a streamlined process.
