“The Regulations From the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act is a critical tool in the battle against job-destroying overregulation. For too long, Congress has delegated away its legislative powers, leaving federal agencies to enact regulations at great costs to the American people with little oversight. The REINS Act will hold Congress responsible for the laws it writes, restoring accountability in the regulatory process that hurts Kentucky’s families and small business owners, and leads to higher prices for consumers, fewer jobs for workers, and weakened American competitiveness.”

“Today, I was glad to support a bipartisan, permanent solution that provides more certainty and stability to students and their families. This important reform is a victory for students and taxpayers as it takes the decisions on student loan interest rates out of the hands of politicians and makes it less expensive for students to borrow money for classes, housing and books."
