The purpose of the Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2026 is to enhance how federal agencies review their existing rules. The goal is to ensure that these reviews are more thorough and transparent, allowing for better public engagement and understanding of the rules that affect various sectors. Key provisions of the Act include several modifications to the process of periodic reviews. Agencies will now be required to solicit public comments on whether existing rules should remain in effect. Additionally, if an agency delays a review, it must provide an explanation for that delay.
