This resolution mandates that sixteen specific House committees undertake a comprehensive review of laws under their purview. The primary objective of this review is to identify and propose amendments to existing statutes that grant the Executive Branch what is deemed excessive discretion in their application. Within six months of the resolution's adoption, each designated committee is required to submit its recommended changes to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Upon receiving all these proposals, that committee is directed to expeditiously report new legislation, to be known as the "Article One Restoration Act," which will incorporate all submitted recommendations without any substantive revisions.
