H.R. 7592, Energy Industry Deregulation Mechanism. Quorum's AI analysis reads it as a net cost — and names who bears it.
H.R. 7592 · Net cost
What it does
This bill requires all energy-related regulations from the Department of Energy, Interior Department bureaus (BLM, BOEM, BSEE, OSMRE), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to automatically expire within 1 year (existing rules) or 5 years (new rules) unless agencies affirmatively renew them…
The analysis names fossil fuel producers (coal, oil, natural gas) — and 4 more groups — among the beneficiaries.
The cost
Agencies may lack resources to conduct full cost-benefit analyses and public comment periods for hundreds of rules within tight deadlines, causing rules to lapse by default rather than deliberate policy choice.
The analysis put a high warning level on this bill. Transparency scores 65%; no detached riders.
Who is behind it
Filed by Craig Goldman. Cosponsored by Anna Luna, August Pfluger, Barry Moore and Beth Duyne.
