RESTART SUNSET Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Schweikert, David [R-AZ-1]
Introduced
Summary
The RESTART SUNSET Act of 2025 would tighten federal rule oversight by requiring agencies to do regular reviews of their rules and by giving courts a clear power to bar enforcement when agencies fail those reviews.
Show full summary
- Agencies would have to review all rules in existence at enactment within ten years and review rules adopted after enactment within ten years of final publication. It replaces the prior fixed initial plan with an ongoing periodic-review obligation.
- Each agency would be required to publish annually a list of rules it finds do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities and explain the basis for that conclusion. This adds routine transparency about small-business impacts.
- Courts would get a new, mandatory remedy. If a court finds an agency failed to follow the review requirement, the court would be required to order that the noncompliant rule not be enforced.
*Contains no new funding authorizations or appropriations in the text provided and does not directly authorize additional federal spending.*

10-year rule reviews with court enforcement
If enacted, federal agencies would have to review every existing rule within 10 years of the law’s enactment. New rules would need a review within 10 years after the final rule is published. Agencies would no longer need to publish a review plan within 180 days. Each year, agencies would list in the Federal Register the rules that do not significantly impact a substantial number of small entities, and explain why. If a court finds an agency skipped a required review, the court would bar enforcement of that rule.
