These rules, promulgated by federal agencies, create unnecessary burdens for individuals and businesses. The Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2026 offers a modern approach to review and remove these kinds of regulations.\n\nSenator Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.\n\n\u201cI have always prioritized solutions-first approaches to making our government more efficient,\u201d Congressman Moore said. \u201cThis bill takes a meaningful step toward identifying and eliminating duplicative and outdated regulations, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass it and advance a government that better serves the American people.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs the federal government strives to serve citizens better and at a lower cost to taxpayers, Congress can help by taking a lesson from Ohio\u2019s work using an AI tool to cut useless and burdensome pieces out of our state code. We estimate that this tool helping experts streamline Ohio\u2019s code saves $44 million and 58,000 manhours over just a decade. This bill would give government a tool that helps them reduce waste and save time\u2014and to give job creators and taxpayers a look at just how much Washington could do to get out of their way and siphon less money from their pockets. I\u2019m grateful that Rep. Moore is partnering with me on this effort,\u201d Senator Husted said.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe ballooning CFR has grown unsustainably large and reflects the need to implement innovative tools to ensure it contains fully effective, non-duplicative regulations.\n\nThis bill instructs the Office of Management and Budget to create an annual process to identify redundant or outdated regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations using an AI tool. This tool will then recommend identified regulations for removal and refer them to the applicable agency, which will decide whether that regulation is eligible for removal under the bill\u2019s definition of redundant or outdated.\n\nThe AI tool will not replace professionals or make automatic cuts. Instead, it works in conjunction with agency personnel to recommend opportunities for streamlining.\n\nFull bill text can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://blakemoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-blake-moore-introduces-legislation-to-identify-redundant-and-outdated-rules-in-federal-regulations"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5061378944665194, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
