Plain-English Summary

The legislation would require federal agencies to publicly disclose the details of settlement agreements and regulatory decisions they make with companies and organizations, making these deals transparent to the public rather than keeping them confidential. This affects businesses, nonprofits, and citizens who want to know what agreements their government has reached on regulations and enforcement actions. The bill aims to increase government accountability by ensuring that major regulatory deals are subject to public scrutiny rather than being negotiated behind closed doors.
