Early Participation in Regulations Act of 2025

This bill requires federal agencies to give the public an early heads-up at least 90 days before they officially propose a major new rule. A major rule is one that could have a big economic impact, such as costing $100 million or more per year, raising prices, or significantly affecting things like jobs, competition, or the environment. The early notice must explain the problem the rule would address, what options the agency is considering, and the legal authority behind it, and it must give people at least 30 days to share their thoughts. There are some exceptions, such as when giving early notice would not be in the public interest, would be repetitive, or when there is a deadline that makes it impractical.
