Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and 24 of his Republican colleagues in the Senate on Jan. 28 introduced a proposal that could become a huge obstacle for President Joe Biden’s ambitious re-regulatory plans.

The “Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2021” (REINS) would require that any new regulation proposed by an executive branch department or agency must be approved by Congress if it’s projected to cost $100 million or more to implement.
