Regulatory Accountability Act to House Floor; White House Threatens Veto, by Michael Herz

The Regulatory Accountability Act, H.R. 3010, is scheduled to be considered on the floor of the House on Thursday, December 1, 2011.  The controversial bill would make sweeping changes to the APA, particularly with regard to its rulemaking provisions.  Today the White House released a Statement of Administration Policy stating that the President’s senior advisors would recommend a veto were the bill to reach his desk.

The Section’s extensive comments on the bill can be found here; an executive summary of those comments is contained in this post.
