S 60 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Write the Laws Act

S 60, the Write the Laws Act, would require Congress to write all federal laws directly instead of delegating rulemaking authority to agencies. It prohibits Congress from delegating legislative power to the executive branch, courts, or any agency, declaring such delegations invalid. This would affect all federal agencies (like the EPA or FCC) that currently create regulations under congressional authority. The bill mandates that all agency rules must be based on specific statutes passed by Congress, not on delegated authority.
