Democrats push EXPERTS Act to overhaul federal rulemaking and curb corporate sway
Congressional Democrats have unveiled the EXPERTS Act, a bill aimed at reshaping how federal agencies create regulations. The proposal comes as a direct response to President Trump’s push for faster deregulation through legally untested methods. Supporters argue the act would reduce corporate influence and give the public a stronger voice in rulemaking.
The EXPERTS Act (H.R. 6145) was introduced in the House by Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, backed by 69 Democratic cosponsors. In the Senate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts led the companion bill with support from a dozen fellow Democrats. Both versions seek to modernise the regulatory process while addressing recent legal changes.
If passed, the EXPERTS Act would reshape how federal rules are developed and challenged. The bill’s provisions—from limiting corporate input to reviving Chevron deference—would mark a significant shift in regulatory policy. Its fate now rests with Congress, where it faces opposition from Republicans and business groups.
