Federal agencies would use AI and other tech to find and improve outdated rules.

This bill would make federal agencies use new technology, like artificial intelligence, to review their old rules. The goal is to make these reviews faster and more accurate. This could potentially lead to clearer or less burdensome regulations for everyday Americans and businesses.

What Would Change

Today, federal agencies review their existing rules. However, there's no specific requirement for them to use advanced technology like AI or to have a unified plan for these reviews. This bill would change that by requiring the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance on using technology for reviews. It would also require that each federal agency create and implement a plan for technology-enhanced reviews of its regulations.

Key Provisions

Requires the Office of Management and Budget to report on how well federal government rules are available in a computer-readable format within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
Requires the Office of Management and Budget to create guidelines for agencies on how to use technology, including artificial intelligence, to review their old rules within 18 months of the bill becoming law.
Requires each federal agency to make a detailed plan for how it will use technology to review its own rules within two years of the bill becoming law.
Requires each federal agency to carry out its technology-based rule review plan within 180 days after submitting it.
