SMART Act of 2025

This bill says that when a federal agency creates a major rule — one that could affect the economy by $100 million or more a year, significantly raise costs, or have other big impacts — the agency must include a plan for checking later whether the rule is actually working as intended. The agency would have to compare the expected benefits and costs of the rule with what actually happened. The agency must also look at whether the rule is still needed, whether it overlaps or conflicts with other rules or state and local regulations, and whether there are better ways to achieve the rule's goals.
