The "Guidance Out Of Darkness Act," or "GOOD Act," seeks to significantly increase public access to federal agency guidance documents. It broadly defines a guidance document as any agency statement of general applicability that does not have the force of law but sets forth policy or interpretation, including various forms like memoranda, bulletins, news releases, and even speeches. This legislation mandates that agencies publish all newly issued guidance documents on the internet immediately upon their release. Furthermore, agencies are required to publish all existing guidance documents that are currently in effect within 180 days of the Act's enactment. All these guidance documents must be made available in a single, designated online location , which the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is tasked with identifying within 90 days. Agencies must also provide prominent hyperlinks to this central repository from their own websites, ensuring the documents are categorized and subcategorized for user-friendliness. Importantly, the Act includes an exemption for documents or information that are protected from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) . When a guidance document is rescinded, agencies must maintain it at the designated location, clearly indicating its rescinded status, the date of rescission, and any relevant court order information.
