The Competitive Enterprise Institute today led a coalition letter to Senate Republican leaders urging passage of two important House-passed regulatory reform bills, the Guidance Out of Darkness (GOOD) Act (H.R. 1515) and the Information Quality Assurance Act (IQAA) (H.R. 6329). 

“The 119th Congress has an opportunity to succeed in delivering reforms that make regulations more transparent and accountable to the American people,” the coalition told the Senate leaders. 

The GOOD Act would require a centralized, searchable online portal for guidance documents that often set policies but without the transparency and checks and balances of formal rulemaking. 

The IQAA would reinforce an earlier law requiring regulatory decisions be grounded in data and prodding agencies to make that data and related methodologies and processes accessible to the public. 

These are “practical reforms [that] build on a strong bipartisan tradition of transparency,” the letter explains. 

The letter is signed by 28 national and state free market organizations.
