Rep Tim Walberg Votes To Reduce Power of Washington Bureaucrats

Statement

Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 367, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, to reform our nation's regulatory system. The REINS Act requires any rule or regulation with an economic impact of $100 million or more and identified by the White House's Office of Management and Budget as a "major regulation' to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote and signed by the President before taking effect.

"Last year, more than 50 regulations were implemented with an annual economic cost of more than $100 million each. The REINS Act allows Congress -- not Washington bureaucrats -- to determine if new major regulations that threaten job creation will go into effect and in doing so, protect jobs for hardworking taxpayers," commented Rep Walberg following the vote.
