Official Summary

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Federal agencies must use the highest quality information available when creating rules that significantly impact public policy or private sector decisions
Agencies would be required to publicly publish all factual materials and sources they used when developing new regulations or guidance
The public would gain new opportunities to review and comment on the evidence behind government regulations before they're finalized
The Office of Management and Budget would establish clear standards defining what counts as 'influential information' that requires this heightened scrutiny
Creates accountability measures to prevent agencies from relying on flawed or biased data when making decisions that affect Americans' lives

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would primarily affect businesses and advocacy groups that interact with federal regulations, giving them more insight into how rules are developed and the ability to challenge questionable data. Everyday Americans could benefit from more transparent government decision-making, particularly in areas like environmental protection, workplace safety, and consumer regulations where the quality of underlying data directly affects policy outcomes. However, the added requirements could also slow down the regulatory process and potentially increase the burden on federal agencies.
