The bill would require federal agencies to demonstrate that their regulations actually produce the benefits they claim and don't cause excessive harm to businesses and workers before putting those rules into effect. Agencies would need to provide evidence that regulations are necessary and effective, giving Congress and the public more information about how government rules are justified. This affects anyone subject to federal regulations, from small business owners to employees to consumers.
