This bill would make agencies repeal three existing rules before issuing a new rule that imposes costs or responsibilities outside the government. For major rules, the new rule's cost could not be higher than the total cost of the rules being repealed. GAO would also have to report regularly on the size and estimated cost of the federal rulebook.
Modern Action shows what the legislation would change, 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.
ERASER Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Latest action on S. 30: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies that write regulations, along with the people and governments that have to follow those rules. It would also give OIRA a formal certification role for major rules and require GAO to produce recurring reports for Congress. Businesses, individuals, and state and local governments could feel the effects through changes in how quickly new regulations are issued and which older regulations agencies decide to repeal.
Why this matters: The bill could change both the pace and the shape of federal rulemaking. Agencies would have to find existing rules to repeal before issuing new ones, and major rules would face an added cost cap, which could push agencies to rethink or narrow new regulatory actions. That could reduce the total number or estimated cost of regulations over time, but the bill does not say which specific rules would be removed or how effects on areas like health, safety, or the environment would play out. The required GAO reports could also give lawmakers and the public a clearer picture of the size and estimated cost of the federal rulebook.
