Amendment to Protect Gas Stoves

Transparency Amendment to Publish Regulatory Cost Information on Public Website

Congresswoman Boebert introduced a transparency amendment to the REINS Act to require the Comptroller General to publish the Government Accountability Office’s inflationary analyses of Biden administration regulations on its public website.

During the first year of this administration, the Biden White House added more than $200 billion in new regulatory costs. Under Joe Biden’s failure of leadership, inflation has hit a 40-year high. This simple, straightforward amendment ensures that the American people will be better informed of the regulations unelected bureaucrats are imposing on them costing as much as $2 trillion in compliance costs and economic losses.

Congresswoman Boebert’s amendment to the REINS Act passed by a voice vote and unanimous consent.

Accountability Amendment to Allow Congress to Exercise Oversight and be Informed of the Inflationary Impact of New Regulations

Congresswoman Boebert introduced an accountability amendment requiring the Comptroller General’s Congressional Review Reports for new regulations to include an assessment about how the regulation will impact inflation. This information will allow Congress to exercise effective oversight over federal agencies’ rulemaking processes.

Due to Joe Biden’s disastrous policies, we have seen crippling inflation that has led to a 4.3% decline in real wages since Biden took office. Additionally, Americans have lost more than $2 trillion in their retirement savings due to Biden’s economic failures.

Congressional Oversight Amendment

Congresswoman Boebert introduced a congressional oversight amendment to the REINS Act requiring the Comptroller General’s Congressional Review Report to be made available to the congressional committees of jurisdiction. This simple, good governance amendment allows Congress to take back its Article I authority in our system of checks and balances. This will provide transparency for the administration to carry out its congressionally authorized duty.
