GAO Database Modernization Act of 2024
The GAO Database Modernization Act of 2024 requires federal agencies to report to the Comptroller General whenever they cancel, change, or make a rule ineffective. This applies to all agencies that issue rules, mandating they provide the rule's title, Federal Register citation, submission date, and details of changes made. The requirement is temporary, ending six years after the bill's enactment. The bill updates existing reporting rules to improve transparency about how agency rules evolve over time.
