Protect public notice-and-comment in HHS rulemaking. It would ask the Secretary of Health and Human Services to withdraw a March 3, 2025 notice that reduces opportunities for public input and to restore the rulemaking practices that were in place on February 27, 2025.

Show full summary
  • Families and program beneficiaries: Keeps opportunities for people who rely on HHS programs to comment on proposed rule changes that affect benefits and services.
  • State and local governments: Preserves chances for state and local officials to weigh in on federal rules that affect how programs are implemented locally.
  • Human services providers and nonprofits: Maintains a formal avenue for providers and advocacy groups to submit technical and on-the-ground feedback before rules are finalized.
  • Rulemaking quality: Affirms a policy that open notice-and-comment helps prevent arbitrary or harmful rules and supports continuity with HHS practices that had been in place for 54 years.
