## Summary

**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. - 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.
