## Summary

**This bill would create an** **AI-driven annual review of the Code of Federal Regulations** to find regulations that are redundant or outdated and push agencies to update or remove them quickly. - Agencies must act fast. When the AI flags a regulation it is immediately referred to the responsible agency, which must decide within 30 days and then rescind or update the rule within 30 days; those agency decisions are final. - OMB and NIST set the rules for the tool. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, must implement the AI process within 90 days and review it at least once a year, with NIST standards for accuracy, transparency, accountability, and national security risk. - More public record and a classified option. Agencies must publish brief written explanations of determinations on their websites and may provide Congress a classified annex when needed. The bill adds an expedited legal path so agencies can rescind or amend flagged rules outside usual notice-and-comment procedures.
