What this bill would do

The "Regulation Reduction Act of 2025" requires federal agencies to repeal existing regulations before they can issue new ones. Specifically, an agency must repeal three or more related rules before issuing a new rule. For major rules, the agency must also ensure the cost of the new rule is less than or equal to the cost of the rules being repealed. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs must certify these costs for major rules. Additionally, agency heads must submit a report within 90 days identifying costly, ineffective, duplicative, or outdated rules.
