H.R.377

Regulation Reduction Act of 2025 requires agencies to repeal three existing regulations before issuing a new regulation.

The Regulation Reduction Act of 2025 mandates that federal agencies must repeal three existing regulations before issuing a new regulation. This applies to any rule or major rule that imposes a cost or responsibility on a nongovernmental person or a State or local government. The act excludes rules related to the internal policy or practice of an agency or procurement by the agency. For major rules, the cost of the new rule must be less than or equal to the cost of the repealed rules, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs must certify this.
