Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2026

The Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2026 modifies how federal agencies conduct periodic reviews of existing regulations. It requires agencies to solicit public comments on whether final rules should remain in effect and mandates that review statements explain any delays in the process. The bill also expands the information agencies must include in their reviews, such as compliance costs, paperwork hours, and economic analyses of the rules. Additionally, agencies must create a summary of public comments that analyzes the feedback before conducting each review. These changes directly affect federal agencies responsible for maintaining and evaluating regulatory rules.
