Pass the REINS Act and other regulatory process bills
What the document says“The next President should work with Congress to pass significant regulatory policy and process reforms, which could go a long way toward reining in the administrative state.”
The chapter names the bills it gives as examples: the Regulatory Accountability Act, the SMART Act, the GOOD Act, the Early Participation in Regulations Act, the Unfunded Mandates Accountability and Transparency Act and the REINS Act. It states that executive action alone is not enough and that Congress must also act.
What the document actually says“The next President should work with Congress to pass significant regulatory policy and process reforms, which could go a long way toward reining in the administrative state.”
The next president should work with Congress. Together they should change how rules get made.
The book says orders from the president are not enough. Congress has to pass laws too. It names six bills it wants passed. They would all make new rules harder to issue.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. None of the bills the chapter names, including the REINS Act, the Regulatory Accountability Act and the GOOD Act, appears among the candidates, and no candidate is a law changing the rulemaking process. The candidates are an Office of Personnel Management rule on probationary periods, two proclamations, a determination about a golf course and two memoranda on unrelated subjects. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
