Federal agencies would have to do more analysis and public review before issuing major rules. The bill could make regulations more transparent, but it could also slow them down.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 3525: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies, businesses, regulated groups, and people who comment on rules. Agencies would have more steps to complete before issuing major rules. Businesses and other regulated groups could get more information and more chances to challenge costs. Workers, consumers, health groups, environmental groups, and civil rights groups could get more time to comment, but new protections could also take longer to arrive.
Why this matters: Federal rules shape real parts of daily life, from workplace safety to pollution limits to business costs. This bill would make agencies show more of their work before issuing big rules. That could make rules more open and better tested. It could also make urgent rules slower or harder to complete.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
