Rep. Good's ALERT Act Passes Oversight Committee, Promises Transparency in Regulatory Process

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability passed Rep. Good’s All Economic Regulations are Transparent (ALERT) Act by a vote of 21 to 19. This legislation would help rein in the federal government and provide much-needed transparency over the Biden Administration.

“As the American people are feeling the harmful impacts of Bidenflation and regulatory overreach, Congress should reclaim our Constitutional responsibilities and stop effectively granting unelected bureaucrats broad legislative powers,” said Congressman Good. “My legislation would shine a light on the federal agencies spread throughout Washington which continue to pile new regulations on hardworking Americans. I am pleased that my ALERT Act passed the Oversight Committee and I hope that House leadership will quickly bring it to the floor for a vote.”

“Oversight is essential for getting an out-of-control regulatory system back on track. The ALERT Act would restore transparency and accountability safeguards that the Biden administration has eroded.” —Ryan Young, Senior Fellow, Competitive Enterprise Institute 

The ALERT Act would require executive agencies to provide monthly updates on any rules they are developing, ensuring a clear and accessible understanding of regulatory actions. It would also require the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to issue an annual report detailing the cumulative costs of all rules that have been proposed or finalized during the previous 12 months.
