Sunset Chevron Act

This legislation aims to eliminate federal agency rules that have been upheld by courts under the doctrine of Chevron deference . It directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to compile and publish a comprehensive list, within 180 days of enactment, of all such rules currently in effect that have not been overturned. The GAO's list will organize these rules by agency and in reverse chronological order of their creation, assigning a specific sunset date to each. The most recent rule for each agency will sunset 30 days after the list's publication, with subsequent older rules by that agency sunsetting in 30-day increments thereafter, effectively creating a cascading expiration. Additionally, the bill modifies the application of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) for these identified rules. While the CRA generally allows Congress to review and disapprove agency rules, this Act specifically removes the standard 60-day period for filing a joint resolution of disapproval, allowing Congress an indefinite period to consider and potentially overturn rules previously upheld through Chevron deference.
