What this bill would do

H.R. 8031, also known as the "GUARDRAILS Act," is a bill designed to repeal a specific executive order. The order being targeted is titled "Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence," which was issued on December 11, 2025. Once enacted, the executive order will have no force or effect. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of Federal funds to implement, administer, enforce, or carry out that order.
