Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act Passes House

Statement

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) voted in favor of the Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act (H.R. 26), which passed the House this week, and ensures that every major rule or regulation with an economic effect of $100 million or more annually would be required to be specifically approved by the House and Senate, in addition to the President, before the rule takes effect.

Congressman Zeldin said, "In Congress, I have constantly heard from business owners on Long Island sharing stories about how various examples of bureaucratic red tape out of Washington has made it increasingly difficult to create more good paying, private sector jobs. The Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which is about smart policy and balance of power, is needed to help shut-down job killing red tape hurting our small businesses. I proudly supported passage of this bill, and will continue working to advance the REINS Act to help grow our economy and ensure that Congress is provided more oversight over the most broad and harmful regulations being implemented by federal agencies."
