OIRA Insight, Reform, and Accountability Act

Sponsor: Paul Mitchell (R-MI)

OIRA Insight, Reform, and Accountability Act (Sec. 2) This bill codifies and revises the centralized regulatory review process, currently required under executive order, to require the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Office of Management and Budget to: (1) chair the Regulatory Working Group that assists agencies with regulatory issues, (2) publish a unified agenda of each agency's regulations that are under development or review, and (3) review each agency's significant regulatory actions. OIRA's review is expanded to include the significant regulatory actions of independent regulatory agencies.
