S 2953 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Unnecessary Agency Regulations Reduction Act of 2023

S 2953 requires the federal government to annually identify and review significant regulations that are duplicative (overlapping with other rules), burdensome (imposing excessive costs or unfunded mandates), or outdated (not updated in 10 years). The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Administrator must compile a list of such regulations, consult with agencies, and submit it to Congress for review. Congress then has 30 days to propose joint resolutions for repeal, which would move through expedited procedures in both chambers with limited debate and no amendments. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for creating regulations and businesses/individuals subject to those regulations, but does not automatically repeal any rules - only establishes a process for Congress to act on identified regulations.
