## Summary

**Modernizing Retrospective Regulatory Review Act** would require agencies to publish machine-readable regulatory data and use technology, including algorithmic tools and artificial intelligence, to plan and carry out systematic reviews of existing rules. This sets firm deadlines and definitions to guide how reviews are done across the federal government. - Federal agencies would have to produce a machine-readable regulation availability report within 180 days and submit agency-wide retrospective review plans within 2 years. Those plans must identify strategies and prioritize regulations for review. - Agencies would get guidance on using technology and AI to conduct retrospective reviews and to train personnel, issued within 18 months of enactment. This creates a formal role for algorithmic tools in review processes. - The bill clarifies roles and definitions for the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Administrator, the Government Publishing Office Director, and recognizes the eCFR in that framework. These definitions shape who implements and who oversees the changes.
