## Summary

**Requires agencies to repeal rules before issuing new ones.** This bill would force agencies to remove at least ten related rules before issuing a new rule and adds cost-equality checks for major rules. - Businesses and households would be directly affected because any new rule that imposes costs on a nongovernmental person cannot be issued unless the agency first repeals 10 related rules. This creates a firm repeal prerequisite for cost-imposing regulations. - State and local governments are explicitly covered, so rules that would impose costs on states or localities must meet the same repeal-and-certify test before they can be issued. - Federal agencies and oversight offices would face new paperwork and publication duties. Agencies must publish each repealed rule in the Federal Register, submit a report within 90 days identifying costly or duplicative rules, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs must certify cost parity for major rules, and the President must report on rule counts and reductions after five years.
