TITLE IV — REGULATIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE IN NEED OF SCRUTINY
SEC. 331. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the "Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2023".
SEC. 332. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this title is to increase accountability for and transparency in the Federal regulatory process. Section 1 of article I of the United States Constitution grants all legislative powers to Congress. Over time, Congress has excessively delegated its constitutional charge while failing to conduct appropriate oversight and retain accountability for the content of the laws it passes. By requiring a vote in Congress, the REINS Act will result in more carefully drafted and detailed legislation, an improved regulatory process, and a legislative branch that is truly accountable to the American people for the laws imposed upon them.

When so called up a joint resolution shall be considered as read and shall be debatable for 1 hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and the previous question shall be considered as ordered to its passage without intervening motion.
