**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.** - 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.
