Regulatory Cooling Off Act of 2024

HR 10275, the Regulatory Cooling Off Act of 2024, delays the implementation of new federal regulations by requiring agencies to wait at least six months after finalizing a rule before it takes effect. This directly affects federal agencies creating regulations and Congress, which must receive finalized rules six months prior to implementation for potential review. Key provisions include extending the waiting period from 30 days to six months, mandating agencies submit finalized rules to Congress six months before implementation, and requiring agencies to post rules on their websites at least 24 hours before Federal Register publication. The bill aims to provide more time for public and congressional review of new rules before they become active.
