Regulatory Reform

The Chamber recognizes the need for smart regulations to ensure workplace safety and protect public health. But with a $2 trillion price tag in compliance costs and an increasing number of huge and complex rules, it’s clear the regulatory system isn’t working the way it should.

Americans deserve a working regulatory system that is fair for everyone, takes into account the views of communities and businesses, evaluates the impact rules will have on jobs and small businesses, and protects our economic and personal freedoms.

Priorities

Work with the administration and individual agencies on the various regulatory relief programs initiated by the administration.
When necessary, defend the regulatory relief actions both through the formal rulemaking process and ensuing litigation.
Continue to push for improved regulatory analysis in the rulemaking process, including the adoption of such analysis by independent agencies.
Advocate for broad-based regulatory reform, especially the enactment of the Regulatory Accountability Act.
Advocate for permanent reforms to the often-abused “sue and settle” process, especially enactment of the Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act.
