Regulatory Cooling Off Act of 2025

HR 510, the Regulatory Cooling Off Act of 2025, requires federal agencies to delay the effective date of new regulations by six months and extends public notice periods. It mandates agencies to submit finalized rules to Congress six months before implementation, provide 60 days of public comment before finalizing rules, and post rules online 24 hours prior to Federal Register publication. This bill directly affects federal agencies creating regulations by adding significant timeframes for congressional review and public input. Key provisions include extending the rule-making timeline from 30 days to six months and requiring formal congressional referral before rules take effect. The changes aim to slow the regulatory process, giving Congress and the public more time to review proposed rules.
