Cassidy Bill Would Enforce the Chevron Decision

The bill would

• Require the head of a federal agency signing a major rule to testify about the rule before the committee of jurisdiction within 30 days of the rule being published;
• Require each person nominated to a Senate-confirmed position to testify before the committee of jurisdiction prior to Senate confirmation;
• Improve cost-benefit analyses by requiring federal agencies to conduct retrospective reviews of such analyses for major rulemakings within five years of each rule’s effective date;
• Clarify that federal agencies are permitted to communicate with Congress at all times regarding proposed rules; and
• Require timely, substantive responses to congressional oversight from federal agencies.
