Undo changes to the order governing regulatory review

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 2, p. 49. Written by Russ Vought.

Undo changes to the order governing regulatory review

The document says “shouldWho acts: PresidentHow: executive orderp. 49 in the PDF
What the document says

“the next President should immediately begin to undo those changes and develop a rigorous, data-driven approach that will result in the least burdensome rules possible.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 49

The chapter says the President should maintain Executive Order 12866, the foundation of OIRA's review of regulatory actions, and should keep its extension to Treasury. If the Biden Administration modified that order or OMB Circular A-4, which underpins cost-benefit analysis, the next President should immediately begin undoing those changes.

What the document actually says

“the next President should immediately begin to undo those changes and develop a rigorous, data-driven approach that will result in the least burdensome rules possible.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 49
That sentence, in plain words

The next president should undo those changes right away. He should build a strict method that keeps rules as light as possible.

What this is about

One old order sets how new rules get checked. It weighs the cost against the good they do. The book says if the last president changed it, the next one should change it back.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
