Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2026
To amend title 5, United States Code, to make certain modifications to how agencies conduct periodic reviews of agency rules, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB8162, aims to change how government agencies review their own rules on a regular basis. The goal is to make this process more efficient and effective. This would impact government agencies by setting new standards for their internal rule reviews, potentially leading to faster and more thorough updates of regulations.
The bill has just been introduced in the House on March 30, 2026, and it has been referred to two committees: the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Small Business. These committees will review the bill and may hold hearings to discuss its details and implications. The next steps will involve these committees deciding whether to make changes to the bill or send it forward to the full House for debate and voting.
The bill was introduced by Dan Meuser (Republican) and co-sponsored by Kimberlyn King-Hinds (Republican) and Robert Bresnahan (Republican). This marks the beginning of the legislative process, and the bill's future will depend on the actions taken by the committees and the House members.
