The REINS Act is an extreme measure jeopardizing federal agencies’ ability to issue important rules that protect workers and the public overall. The bill would mandate congressional approval for all major rules within 70 legislative days, allowing politics, not scientific judgment, to dictate regulatory actions. This legislation is harmful and unnecessary; Congress already has mechanisms to disapprove or block rule implementation without the need for additional, burdensome requirements.
