GOOD Act
The GOOD Act requires federal agencies to publish all non-binding guidance documents - such as memos, notices, and blog posts - in a single, centralized online location. Agencies must post existing guidance within 180 days of the law's enactment and new guidance on the day it is issued, with rescinded documents kept online and clearly marked as such. Documents exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act are excluded from this requirement. This aims to improve public access to agency guidance while maintaining transparency for non-binding communications.
