The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will vote on several bills this week, including legislation to address guidance documents.
S. 252, the “Guidance out of Darkness (GOOD) Act,” from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), would require federal agencies to publish their guidance documents online for public access.
The House in March passed its own version of the bill, H.R. 1515, sponsored by Oversight and Government Reform Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).
“Agency guidance documents are difficult to find, leaving Americans and small businesses guessing, and oftentimes struggling, to comply with the law,” said Comer.
