Scott's Senate office said he was calling on Congress to pass several red-tape bills, including the Expediting Reform and Stopping Excess Regulations (ERASER) Act, described as prohibiting an agency from issuing a major rule unless it repeals three or more rules and offsets the cost as certified by OIRA.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A recent official Scott statement continued to press for passage and accurately matches the commitment's policy substance, but it is advocacy rather than enactment.

The ERASER Act matching the promise was introduced in the 119th Congress as S.30 on January 8, 2025, with Rick Scott listed as an original cosponsor, and Scott continued publicly urging Congress to pass it in August 2026. However, the latest available bill status shows only referral to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, with no passage by either chamber and no enactment. Scott made a concrete legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
