What this bill does
H.R. 7533, the Modernizing Retrospective Regulatory Review Act, directs federal agencies to make greater use of technology in reviewing existing regulations. It requires the Office of Management and Budget, working with the Government Publishing Office, the Archivist, and the Federal Register, to report on the government's progress in making regulations available in machine-readable format. OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs must then issue guidance instructing agencies on how to use technology, including algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence, to identify regulations that are obsolete, ineffective, overly burdensome, redundant, or contain errors, and to train staff in using such tools. Each federal agency would then have to develop and submit a plan for applying this guidance and identifying regulations needing review, and implement that plan within a set timeframe.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies, OMB, and related record-keeping bodies, requiring new reporting, planning, and staff training obligations. It does not directly regulate businesses or individuals but could eventually affect how existing regulations are revised or eliminated.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs in March 2024, referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and reported out with an amendment in December 2024, placing it on the House calendar for further floor consideration. It has not yet received a vote by the full House or Senate.
