The Cut The Code Project is an effort to roll back ridiculous, outdated, or overly burdensome regulations that have impacted constituents in the Third Congressional District of Colorado.\n \n\t\u201cThe current Code of Federal Regulations is over 75,000 pages long and filled with regulations that are stunting economic growth across our nation,\u201d said Tipton. \u201cMy office wants to hear from people who have experienced the effects of a ridiculous or unnecessarily burdensome regulation. We\u2019ll take a look at the appropriate statutes and history of the regulation, and we\u2019ll determine if we can introduce legislation to cut it.\u201d\n \nThe Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is made up of the rules and regulations that the Executive Branch develops to enforce the laws in the U.S. Code.\nConstituents who would like to submit ideas to Tipton can do so online at www.tipton.house.gov or by calling 202-225-4761.\n \n\t\u201cFor the past several years, the Executive Branch has overstepped its authority and issued regulations that go well beyond the scope of the U.S. Code. We have an opportunity to roll back the current regulatory regime that is holding our economy back,\u201d Tipton added. \u201cI look forward to reading everyone\u2019s ideas.\u201d", 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": ["http://tipton.house.gov/press-release/tipton-asks-constituents-help-him-cut-regulations-115th-congress"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1881408281624317, "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"}
