This is desperation – the same strong-arm playbook, trying to intimidate voters instead of facing the truth. Donald Trump and his Utah Republican backers are desperate because they’re finally starting to come to terms with how unpopular their gerrymandering scam actually is. Utahns already voted on Prop 4 and made it crystal clear that they demand fair maps, fair elections, and fair representation.
There’s a reason why Republicans are struggling to get the signatures they need and are parachuting Trump in from the sidelines: Utahns don’t want them to manipulate our elections. If Republicans want to earn voters’ trust, they should stop cheating and start actually listening to what Utahns want.
Senator Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. Senate.
“I have always prioritized solutions-first approaches to making our government more efficient,” Congressman Moore said. “This bill takes a meaningful step toward identifying and eliminating duplicative and outdated regulations, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass it and advance a government that better serves the American people.”
“As the federal government strives to serve citizens better and at a lower cost to taxpayers, Congress can help by taking a lesson from Ohio’s work using an AI tool to cut useless and burdensome pieces out of our state code. We estimate that this tool helping experts streamline Ohio’s code saves $44 million and 58,000 manhours over just a decade. This bill would give government a tool that helps them reduce waste and save time—and to give job creators and taxpayers a look at just how much Washington could do to get out of their way and siphon less money from their pockets. I’m grateful that Rep. Moore is partnering with me on this effort,” Senator Husted said.
Background:
The ballooning CFR has grown unsustainably large and reflects the need to implement innovative tools to ensure it contains fully effective, non-duplicative regulations.
This bill instructs the Office of Management and Budget to create an annual process to identify redundant or outdated regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations using an AI tool. This tool will then recommend identified regulations for removal and refer them to the applicable agency, which will decide whether that regulation is eligible for removal under the bill’s definition of redundant or outdated.
The AI tool will not replace professionals or make automatic cuts. Instead, it works in conjunction with agency personnel to recommend opportunities for streamlining.
