Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the federal government to identify and publicly report the costs of new rules and regulations it imposes on states, local governments, and businesses without providing federal funding to cover those costs. The goal is to make Congress more aware of the financial burden these unfunded mandates place on states and localities before passing them, potentially making lawmakers think twice about creating expensive requirements they don't pay for.
