Bill overview
The BEST Act aims to improve how federal agencies use scientific information when making rules. It requires agencies to prioritize the best available science and document their decision-making process clearly. Specifically, agencies must make available detailed information about the scientific evidence they considered, how they evaluated it, and the reasoning behind their decisions. This increased transparency is intended to ensure that regulations are based on sound scientific understanding.
