If Congress is to impose regulations and laws on U.S. citizens, it is important that those citizens are made aware of how they come to be. Cutting red tape and opening the regulatory process to scrutiny is an important step in holding government accountable to all Americans.

Therefore, I proudly introduced S. 299 the Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2011 (REINS Act) along with 12 of my Senate colleagues on Feb. 7, 2011, as it is designed to increase accountability for and transparency in the Federal regulatory process. A companion REINS Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives at the same time by my fellow Kentuckian, Geoff Davis.
