Posts - Bill - S 81 Guidance Clarity Act of 2025
senate 01/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that agency guidance documents clearly state they do not carry the force of law, helping the public understand these are tools for clarification rather than binding rules. This will promote transparency and reduce confusion about the legal authority of such guidance.

Stop the alphabet soup from confusing Americans. Tell people straight up: guidance isn’t law, and that's how it should be.

Turning agency guidance into disclaimers feels like a power grab wrapped in fine print. When clarity means 'don’t hold us accountable,' the public loses.

This bill puts the brakes on unelected bureaucrats playing legislative dress-up. Clarity means respect for the Constitution.

Maybe this will keep agencies honest, or maybe it’ll just add another layer of paperwork. Time will tell if clarity means clarity or just clutter.

So the government wants to say ‘trust us, but not really’—sounds like a mixed message with a side of confusion.

Finally, some common sense! If agencies want to dictate, they should at least be clear they're not making law—no more executive overreach by stealth.

Great, another effort to tie the hands of agencies trying to protect people. Transparency isn’t the problem—accountability is.

If this helps folks actually understand what rules mean, I’m all for it—but I’m wary of any law that feels like window dressing.

Slapping vague disclaimers on important rules is just bureaucratic smoke and mirrors. We need real protections, not legalese loopholes.
