Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda
Executive Order 2017-04107
|Signed on February 25, 2017
45th Presidency
What it means
Establishes a framework for regulatory reform by requiring federal agencies to appoint Regulatory Reform Officers and create task forces to evaluate existing regulations. These groups must identify regulations that hamper job creation, are outdated, or impose costs exceeding benefits.
Expected impact
- Potential reduction in federal regulations that burden businesses and citizens
- Improved government efficiency through elimination of outdated or unnecessary rules
- Possible economic growth as regulatory barriers to job creation are removed
- Increased accountability for federal agencies regarding their regulatory processes
- Greater input from stakeholders affected by regulations, including small businesses and local governments
