Sunset Chevron Act

Sponsored By: Representative Green, Mark E. [R-TN-7]

Introduced

Summary

Sunsetting rules upheld by Chevron deference is the bill’s core move. It would force a time-limited end to federal rules that courts upheld based on Chevron deference by requiring a government list and staggered expiration dates.

Show full summary
  • Agencies and regulated parties would face automatic expirations for identified rules. The most recent rule from each agency would expire 30 days after the list is published and earlier rules would lapse in 30-day steps after the preceding rule.
  • The Comptroller General must compile and publish the list within 180 days of enactment of every court decision that upheld a rule on Chevron grounds and that remains in effect. The list must be organized by agency and ordered by rule date.
  • The bill changes how the Congressional Review Act applies to those rules by applying the statute but removing the usual 60-day window to file a joint resolution to disapprove listed rules.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Many federal agency rules could expire

If enacted, the GAO would have 180 days to publish a list of agency rules that courts upheld using Chevron deference, that were not overturned, and that still apply. The list would group rules by agency and show the newest rules first. For each agency, the newest listed rule would expire 30 days after the list is published. Older rules would then expire in 30‑day steps after that. Each listed rule would go through the Congressional Review Act process, but without the normal 60‑day filing window.
