Comment Integrity and Management Act
To amend section 206 of the E-Government Act of 2002 to improve the integrity and management of mass comments and computer-generated comments in the regulatory review process, and for other purposes.
HB9643, also known as the Comment Integrity and Management Act, aims to update the E-Government Act of 2002. It specifically focuses on improving how mass comments and computer-generated comments are handled during the regulatory review process. This is to ensure that comments are more meaningful and less likely to be generated by bots or spam.
This bill would affect government agencies that accept public comments on regulations and the companies or individuals that submit these comments. It seeks to create a more transparent and fair process by reducing the impact of non-genuine comments.
HB9643 was introduced on July 13, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the same day. As of July 22, 2026, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has held a mark-up session for the bill. No further actions have been taken since then.
