What we know

This order directs the federal government to embark on a reckless and unlawful deregulatory agenda.

Formal Name

Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Deregulatory Initiative

Status
Proposed
Formal Identifier

90 FR 10583

February 19, 2025

Anticipated Impact

This executive order directs senior government officials, including those associated with DOGE, to initiate a process to review all government regulations. According to the EO, the review is for the purposes of modifying or rescinding regulations, and in some cases, deprioritizing agency actions to enforce them. Under the guise of confronting "federal overreach," this EO is likely to lead the federal government to engage in a reckless campaign of deregulation, undermining or eliminating important regulations that are essential for the public health, economic stability, and environmental safety.
