Moore | M001213 | blakemoore.house.gov | blakemoore | https://blakemoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON — Congressman Blake Moore introduced legislation to streamline the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to identify redundant and outdated rules. Over the past 50 years, the Code of Federal Regulations has grown to nearly 200,000 pages, including duplicative or outdated rules. 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. Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. “I have always prioritized solutions-first approaches to making our government more efficient,” Congressman Moore said. “This bill takes a meaningful step toward identifying and eliminating duplicative and outdated regulations, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass it and advance a government that better serves the American people.” “As the federal government strives to serve citizens better and at a lower cost to taxpayers, Congress can help by taking a lesson from Ohio’s 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’s 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—and 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’m grateful that Rep. Moore is partnering with me on this effort,” Senator Husted said. Background: The ballooning CFR has grown unsustainably large and reflects the need to implement innovative tools to ensure it contains fully effective, non-duplicative regulations. This bill instructs the Office of Management and Budget to create an annual process to identify redundant or outdated regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations using an AI tool.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agency, which will decide whether that regulation is eligible for removal under the bill’s definition of redundant or outdated. The AI tool will not replace professionals or make automatic cuts. Instead, it works in conjunction with agency personnel to recommend opportunities for streamlining.
