SCRUB Act of 2025

# SCRUB Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The SCRUB Act of 2025 (S 648) is a regulatory reform bill that would change how federal agencies create and enforce rules. The bill focuses on streamlining the process for reviewing and removing existing regulations, making it easier for the government to eliminate or modify rules that agencies consider outdated or unnecessary. It also affects how courts review challenges to agency decisions. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily impact federal agencies (like the EPA, OSHA, and others) that create workplace safety, environmental, and consumer protection rules.

Businesses and industries subject to these regulations would potentially benefit from reduced regulatory requirements, while consumers and workers who rely on these protections could be affected by any rule changes. The bill would also influence how legal challenges to agency decisions are handled in court. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee (S 648, 119th Congress) and has not advanced to a vote in the full Senate. This means it's still in the early stages of the legislative process and would need to pass committee review and floor debate before becoming law.
