GOOD Act

The GOOD Act requires all federal agencies to publish their non-binding policy guidance documents (like memos, letters, or blog posts) on a single, centralized online repository within 180 days of enactment. It directly affects every federal agency by mandating that all such documents - excluding those already exempt under the Freedom of Information Act - be organized into clear categories on agency websites. Key provisions include designating a central website by the Office of Management Budget Director, maintaining rescinded guidance with clear disclaimers, and ensuring public access to all published guidance. The bill focuses solely on improving transparency in how agencies share interpretive guidance, not on changing policy substance.
