Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement today after the House passed the Regulatory Accountability Act (H.R. 185) by a bipartisan vote of 250 -- 175:
"This bipartisan bill will modernize our federal regulatory process by increasing transparency and reducing costs to hardworking American taxpayers. Implementing our laws in the most cost-effective way while requiring public input at each stage of the regulatory process empowers individuals and communities in Arkansas and across America. I will continue to support legislation that gives a larger voice to taxpayers and reduces the burdensome red tape of the federal government."
