The "Restoring Checks and Balances Act" introduces a five-year sunset provision for new federal regulations, requiring Congressional reauthorization for them to continue. Agency heads must submit reauthorization requests to Congress with justifications one year before expiration, and these reports must be publicly accessible. This act does not override the Administrative Procedure Act and defines key terms such as "agency," "covered rule," and "sunset" to clarify the scope and implementation of the new requirements. Certain types of rules are excluded, such as those related to military or foreign affairs, or those needed for enforcing federal criminal laws.
