Voters should care about this bill because it aims to make the government more accountable for the regulations it creates. Currently, once a rule is enacted, there isn't always a structured, mandatory process to ensure it's still effective, relevant, and not creating unintended negative consequences years down the line. This bill would create such a system, requiring agencies to prove that their major rules are actually working as intended and providing benefits that outweigh their costs.
If this bill becomes law, it could lead to more efficient government, potentially reducing outdated or ineffective regulations that might unnecessarily burden businesses and consumers. If it doesn't become law, the current system of less systematic retrospective review for many major rules would continue, potentially leaving ineffective or harmful regulations on the books for longer periods without a required reassessment.
