This costly and wasteful practice is another regulatory burden that can easily be taken off the backs of the American people.“The passage of the REVIEW Act is a better way to reduce wasteful government spending and ensure Americans can keep their hard-earned money. The bill frees up billions of precious dollars to be spent on the jobs and investment America currently needs.”Background: Introduced by Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law Subcommittee Chairman Marino and cosponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Goodlatte, the REVIEW Act stops “high impact rules” with costs of $1 billion dollars or more annually from taking effect until any timely-filed court challenges to the regulations in question are concluded.The REVIEW Act amends the Administrative Procedure Act to establish:• a definition for “high-impact rules”—those costing $1 billion or more annually; and, • an automatic administrative stay of all “high-impact rules” pending final judicial review if a legal challenge is filed within 60 days of the rules’ issuance or the time otherwise prescribed to seek judicial review.Click here to learn more about the bill. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
