Senator Lee is a co-sponsor of the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny or REINS Act which would require major rules to be affirmatively approved by both chambers of Congress and then be signed by the President. “Without the REINS Act, Americans will continue to live under the tyranny of unelected bureaucrats who effectively make laws but never have to stand for election,” shares Senator Lee. “Congress has an opportunity to restore its constitutional lawmaking role while saving countless American workers, consumers, businesses, and families from the costs imposed by endless federal regulations.” The bill defines a “major” rule as one that the Office of Management and Budget determines may result in an economic impact of $100 million or greater each year.
