Bill overview
This bill, the Unfunded Mandates Accountability Act, aims to increase transparency and accountability in federal rule-making. It requires federal agencies to conduct and publish detailed regulatory impact analyses for rules that could have a significant economic effect ($100 million or more) or impose substantial costs on state, local, or tribal governments. The bill also mandates that agencies consider and select the least costly or burdensome alternative to a proposed rule and expands judicial review of agency decisions.
