Regulatory Improvement

Improving the federal regulatory process is critical to the continued growth and competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Targeted regulations to protect health and safety are an important function of government, but the regulatory state has increased dramatically in size and scope over the past 40 years to the point that it now touches every corner of the American economy. The ACCF’s Regulatory Improvement Project is aimed at finding commonsense and bipartisan ways to improve the rulemaking process to ensure a fair and level process for American businesses.
