This legislation provides much-needed relief to individuals and businesses by restoring regulatory transparency, requiring evidence-based rulemaking, and ensuring that agencies\u00a0conduct cost-benefit analysis for the new burdens they seek to impose.\u00a0This bill represents exactly the sort of\u00a0commonsense, bipartisan\u00a0legislation\u00a0that we should pursue in the next Congress. I applaud the work of Senator Rob Portman and\u00a0House Judiciary Committee\u00a0Chairman Bob Goodlatte\u00a0on this\u00a0bill.\u00a0For too long we have simply talked about regulatory reform\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the time for action\u00a0is now.\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\nSenator Hatch has played a key role in every major regulatory reform effort in the past 38 years, including as an original cosponsor of the 1981 Regulatory Reform Act and an author of the 1995 Comprehensive\u00a0Regulatory Reform \u00a0Act, while serving\u00a0as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In major addresses at the Reagan Ranch in October and at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention in November, Senator Hatch discussed his regulatory reform agenda and identified the Regulatory Accountability Act as a top priority for the incoming 114th Congress.\r\n \r\nLINK- Senator Hatch Speaks at the Reagan Ranch\r\nLINK- Senator Hatch Speaks to the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.hatch.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/releases?ContentRecord_id=072605f8-6558-480a-89c1-1cc45b4e1e53"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.024940051138401, "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"}
