Checks and Balances Act

This bill redefines "guidance" issued by entities with presidential authority (like task forces) to require Congressional review, similar to formal agency rules. It directly affects non-agency entities (e.g., presidential task forces) that issue operational guidance on policy or regulations. Key provisions expand the definition of "guidance" to include memoranda, letters, and directives, and mandate that these entities follow the same Congressional review process as federal agencies. The change ensures such guidance must undergo the same scrutiny as agency rules before taking effect.
