What this bill would do

This legislation, known as the EXPERTS Act of 2025, requires individuals and organizations to disclose specific conflicts of interest and funding sources when submitting scientific, economic, or technical studies during federal agency rulemaking processes. It establishes a new Office of the Public Advocate within the Office of Management and Budget to help the public participate in rulemaking and to conduct social equity assessments. The bill sets strict timelines for federal agencies to review regulations, mandates the publication of petition responses when a petition receives over 100,000 signatures, and penalizes public companies that submit false or misleading information. Additionally, it requires agencies to disclose inter-governmental rule changes and the justifications for withdrawing any proposed rules. Finally, the legislation permits federal agencies to reinstate certain previously disapproved rules either through a fast-track process or standard rulemaking procedures.
