Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) made the following statement today after passage of H.R. 367, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“For too long, Congress has allowed administrations of both parties to enact regulations at great costs to the American people with little oversight. The REINS Act would allow Congress to vote on new major rules before they are imposed on hardworking families, small businesses, and agriculture producers. Regardless of which party occupies the White House, this commonsense legislation is needed to restore the balance of power in Washington and return responsibility for the legislative process to Congress.”
Smith is an original cosponsor of the REINS Act, which would require new regulations with an annual economic impact of more than $100 million to be approved by a stand-alone vote in Congress and signed by the President before they take effect.
