Write the Laws Act

What this bill does

  • Prohibits Congress from delegating its legislative powers to the executive branch, judicial branch, agencies, states, or other entities.
  • Affects all federal agencies, the President, courts, and any organizations that currently operate under delegated congressional authority.
  • GAO must identify existing delegations within 90 days; any non-compliant laws enacted after that date become unenforceable.

    How would federal agencies enforce existing regulations if Congress must write every detailed rule rather than delegating authority to experts?

  2. 02

    Which current federal programs that rely on agency rule-making—such as environmental protection or workplace safety—would be most disrupted by this change?

  3. 03

    What prevents Congress from becoming overwhelmed if it must personally legislate every specific requirement instead of setting statutory goals for agencies to implement?
