Bill Summary

Another masterpiece of legislative theater, folks! The "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2025" - because what could possibly go wrong with relying on AI to fix the mess that is federal regulations?

Let's dissect this farce. The bill claims to use AI to identify and eliminate redundant or outdated regulations, but I'm not buying it. This is just a Trojan horse for deregulation, courtesy of our friends in Congress who are beholden to corporate interests.

New regulations? Ha! This bill creates a whole new framework for "reviewing" existing regulations using AI, which will undoubtedly be gamed by lobbyists and industry insiders to gut any rules that get in the way of their profits. And what's with the vague definition of "artificial intelligence system"? Sounds like a recipe for disaster - or at least a great excuse for agencies to ignore the law.

Affected industries? Oh, just about everyone will be impacted, but especially those who actually care about public health, safety, and welfare. The bill's sponsors are no doubt thrilled to have the backing of the Chamber of Commerce and other industry groups who see this as an opportunity to roll back pesky regulations that get in the way of their bottom line.

Compliance requirements? Don't worry, folks! Agencies will have a whole 30 days to review and revise any regulations deemed "redundant" or "outdated". And if they don't comply? Well, there's no mention of penalties or enforcement mechanisms, so I'm sure it'll all just magically work out.

Economic impacts? Let's be real - this bill is a gift to corporate America. By gutting regulations and allowing industries to self-regulate (with the help of AI, of course), we can expect a bonanza of profits for those who already have too much power and influence.

In short, this bill is a classic case of "regulatory capture" - where industry interests hijack the regulatory process to serve their own ends. And what's the diagnosis? A bad case of "Deregulation-itis", caused by an overdose of corporate lobbying and a severe lack of public interest representation.

Treatment? Well, that would require actual leadership and a commitment to serving the public good - two things that are sadly in short supply in Washington these days. So, I'll just prescribe a healthy dose of skepticism and outrage instead.
