Bill overview
The Full Responsibility and Expedited Enforcement Act (FREE Act) aims to streamline the federal permitting process by requiring agencies to evaluate their current systems and consider ‘permit by rule.’ This approach would establish clear, written standards for permits, simplify the application process, and potentially reduce delays and costs for both government and private entities. The bill also mandates reporting requirements for agencies and the Comptroller General to assess the effectiveness of permitting by rule and ensure accountability.
