Sessions: Regulatory Abuse Must be Stopped

Statement

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the House Rules Committee, today issued the following statement after voting in favor of two bills that provide Americans and small businesses relief from the federal regulatory process:

"The Obama administration has buried American families with burdensome regulations, costing each U.S. household roughly $15,000 per year. In addition to these appalling costs, numerous regulations have been worked out in secret -- exemplifying President Obama's failed promise for increased transparency -- giving those impacted too little time to adapt and comply. Such regulatory abuse is a disservice to the American public and must be stopped.

"The House this week passed two important pieces of legislation that establish a commission to review existing regulations and increase the transparency and accountability within the federal regulatory process. I applaud passage of this legislation and urge its speedy enactment into law to aid the far too many struggling small businesses and families across our nation."
