Guidance Clarity Act of 2025

The Guidance Clarity Act of 2025 requires all federal agencies (as defined in Title 5, U.S. Code) to include a clear statement on the first page of any agency guidance issued under specific rules. This statement must explicitly state that the guidance does not have the force of law, does not bind the public or the agency, and is solely intended to clarify existing legal requirements. Agencies must implement this requirement 30 days after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issues its implementing guidance, which OMB must provide within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects how agencies communicate non-binding guidance to the public.
