Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 20

23

 
This bill revises provisions relating to congressional review of agency rulemaking. 
 
Specifically, the bill establishes a congressional approval process for a major rule. A major rule may only take effect if Congress approves of the rule. A 
major rule
 is a rule that has resulted in or is likely to result in (1) an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; (2) a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, government agencies, or geographic regions; or (3) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. 
 
The bill generally preserves the current congressional review process for a nonmajor rule.
