This resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) should reverse a recent decision to reduce public notice and comment opportunities in the regulatory process. The Senate emphasizes that public participation is crucial for formulating fair and sound policy, mitigating arbitrary rulemaking, and ensuring that regulations affecting millions of Americans are well-considered. Specifically, the resolution calls for the withdrawal of the notice published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 11029), which proposed these reductions. Instead, it urges the HHS Secretary to affirm the practices for public involvement in rulemaking that were in effect on February 27, 2025 , thereby maintaining established procedures for stakeholder input.
