Regulatory Accountability Act

Jan. 11, 2017 | H.R. 5
This bill would upend 40 years of labor, health safety and environmental laws by requiring agencies to adopt the cheapest rules, rather than those deemed most effective. This anti-regulatory bill would make protecting workers and the public secondary to limiting cost and impacts on businesses and corporations. The bill passed the House amended.
