S. 1110: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2025, aims to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the process of reviewing and updating federal regulations in the United States. Here’s a detailed summary of what the bill proposes.

Key Objectives

The bill sets out to establish a systematic annual review of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to identify regulations that are:

• Redundant: These are regulations that repeat or overlap with existing regulations without providing additional value.
• Outdated: Regulations that have been rendered irrelevant due to more recent laws, technological advancements, or changes in regulatory practices.

Implementation Process

• The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will implement a process to conduct this annual review using an AI system.
• The AI system must adhere to strict standards for accuracy, transparency, accountability, and national security.

Annual Review Procedure

• Within 90 days of the bill becoming law, the OMB must initiate the review process.
• Every year, the OMB will reassess the AI system and review the effectiveness of the regulation identification process.
• Any regulations identified as redundant or outdated will be sent to the relevant agency for further evaluation.

Agency Review and Response

• Upon receiving a referral of a regulation, the agency will have 30 days to determine if the regulation is indeed redundant or outdated.
• Once a regulation is determined redundant, the agency is required to rescind it within 30 days.
• If a regulation is found to be outdated, the agency must either amend it to update its content or rescind it, also within 30 days.
• Any determinations made must be publicly published on the agency's website along with a brief explanation.

Expedited Amendments

The bill proposes an amendment to existing regulatory process rules to allow for expedited rescission and amendment of identified regulations without the usual procedural delays.

Conclusion of Regulatory Review

The amendments will enable the OMB and the specified agencies to effectively manage and streamline the federal regulatory framework using advanced AI methodologies.

Relevant Companies

• MSFT (Microsoft Corporation): Microsoft might be impacted due to its AI technologies being potentially employed in the regulatory review process.
• GOOGL (Alphabet Inc.): Alphabet could be affected as its AI products and research capabilities may play a role in developing systems for regulatory review.
• IBM (International Business Machines Corporation): IBM is likely to be involved due to its expertise in AI solutions that could be utilized in regulatory processes.
