HR 890

Sponsored by James Comer (R)

GOOD Act

Would have required federal agencies to post all their guidance documents online in one searchable place.

Tradeoff

Would have made agency guidance easier to find, with a clear mark on any guidance that was withdrawn. Would have required agencies to post documents they issue, including older ones still in effect, and to pay the cost of doing so.
