WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott’s Regulation Decimation Act sees growing support as it was recently highlighted in a Washington Examiner op-ed by American Enterprise Institute's Kevin R. Kosar. Senator Scott's bill requires federal agencies to repeal ten existing regulations before issuing new ones, codifying President Trump’s recent executive order, and  ensures that the cost of any new regulation does not exceed the cost of those repealed. Senator Scott is also a cosponsor of the REINS Act and the ERASER Act as part of his push to streamline government and reduce unnecessary red tape following in the footsteps of DOGE’s efforts. 

Upon the introduction of his Regulation Decimation Act, Senator Scott released the below statement: 

Senator Rick Scott said, “The federal government has grown exponentially during the four years of the Biden administration, with hundreds of thousands of federal regulations costing Americans $1.9 TRILLION. President Trump is committed to streamlining government to make it work better for the American people, and every agency should follow suit and cut waste and red tape within their own walls. It’s time to refocus our federal government and its agencies to be good stewards of American tax dollars and working better for the American people by passing the Regulatory Decimation Act to hold agencies accountable.”
