Press Release

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch

Senator Steve Daines has introduced legislation to rein in out of control executive agencies that interpret laws inappropriately to grant themselves more regulatory authority than Congress intended.

The Regulatory Authority Clarification Act would allow Congress to provide additional clarification on what regulatory authority has or hasn't been granted by passing concurrent resolutions.

"Montanans know far too well the cost of Washington's top-down, unchecked ability to issue broad and burdensome regulations," Daines stated. "This legislation is a good step towards reducing the costly red-tape that hinders the growth and stability of hardworking Montana businesses. It's far past time to rein in overbearing regulations and give Montana families, business owners and taxpayers the relief they deserve."
