The "Action Versus No Action Act" is a federal bill aimed at promoting proactive decision-making within government agencies by requiring them to justify inaction when choosing not to take regulatory action. The main provision of the bill mandates agencies to provide detailed explanations for deciding against implementing regulations, ensuring transparency and accountability. This legislation seeks to encourage more deliberate and thoughtful regulatory choices while enhancing public oversight of agency decisions. If passed, the bill could lead to increased scrutiny of regulatory inaction and potentially impact how agencies prioritize and communicate their regulatory agendas.
