Requires federal agencies to clearly state when their advice isn't a binding law.
Federal agencies often give advice to the public through guidance documents. This bill would make sure these documents clearly state that they are not legally binding laws. This helps individuals and businesses understand what they must follow and what is just helpful information.
Today, federal agencies do not have a universal requirement to include a specific clarity statement on certain guidance documents. If this bill passes, agencies would be required to prominently display a statement on the first page of these documents. This statement would explain that the guidance is not legally binding law but rather clarification of existing rules or policies.
