Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2026
Plain Language Summary
# Summary of HR 7226 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require federal agencies to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to review and simplify the Code of Federal Regulations—the massive collection of rules that govern how federal agencies operate. The goal is to make federal regulations clearer, shorter, and easier for businesses, states, and citizens to understand and comply with. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact federal agencies (which would need to use AI for this review process), businesses and organizations that must follow federal regulations, and potentially the general public by making government rules more accessible. It could affect virtually any sector regulated by the federal government, from healthcare and environmental protection to finance and workplace safety. **Key Details and Current Status** While the specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, the bill's title suggests it focuses on using AI as a tool for regulatory review rather than eliminating regulations outright.
The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT).
Latest Action
