A noble idea and probably a good start.
It’s WAAAAAY past time to break the power of unelected bureaucrats to create “law”!

Congress has not been much better when they deign to actually get their hands dirty either.

I suspect the only practical way to handle this is to limit congress time is session, maybe no more than twenty weeks a year.
The rest of the time they are required to spend actually in their own district, available to their constituents.

The other necessary item is to prevent congress continuing to delegate the authority to create “law”, rulings, determinations, or any other excuse for fining or imprisoning the American public.

Eliminate the alphabet agencies ability to write their own regs!
EPA, DOT, BATFE (ATF), HHS, DOJ, ALL of them!

If this House rule is adopted, it could be the beginning of the end for unaccountable, unconstitutional administrative regulations. If I am correct, nothing of the sort, ie automatic review of a Federal agency's rules has ever existed.

The Florida legislature recently passed a veto override to implement a law that requires legislative approval of all agency rules that could cost the private sector more than $1 million over five years. The enviro-weenies are howling.

Something similar is needed at the federal level and the proposed rule could be the trick to get it started.
