This resolution orders a set of House committees to review the laws they oversee and identify where those laws give too much freedom to executive branch agencies in how they are carried out . The goal is to rein in what the resolution calls excessive executive discretion and to strengthen Congress’s role in setting clear rules . Committees covering areas such as agriculture, defense, energy, finance, education, health, transportation, veterans’ affairs, and intelligence are among those directed to do this review and submit their recommended changes . After receiving these proposals, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee must package them into a single bill titled the “Article One Restoration Act” . This affects executive agencies, which could face more specific instructions from Congress, as well as industries and communities governed by these laws, which could see clearer rules and less shifting guidance from administrations. The measure does not state new funding or costs.
