Bill overview
The Bureaucratic Limitation and Overreach Control Act (BLOCK Act) requires congressional approval before federal agency rules costing $50 million or more annually can take effect. It mandates that agencies publish detailed information about their rule-making process, including data and cost-benefit analyses, and submit a report to Congress for review. The bill also establishes a process for congressional disapproval of non-major rules and includes provisions for reviewing existing rules and ensuring agencies cooperate with the review process. It also includes a mechanism for expedited rule implementation if Congress fails to act on a major rule within a specified timeframe.
