Congress.gov states that S.111 became Public Law No. 118-9 on 07/25/2023. The CRS summary says the act requires proposed-rule notices by federal agencies to include an internet address for a plain-language summary of 100 words or fewer, posted on regulations.gov.

A regulatory-process transparency bill became law during Comer's 2023-2025 House term. It modestly addresses regulatory red tape by making proposed rules easier to understand, but it does not repeal or reduce existing regulations.
