♦️“The Stop Corporate Capture Act ♦️is a comprehensive blueprint for #modernizing, #improving, and #strengthening the regulatory system
🔸 to better protect the public,” 🔸
said Rachel Weintraub,
executive director of the "Coalition for Sensible Safeguards."

“The bill would restore #Chevron #deference, ensuring that courts defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of an ambiguous statute is reasonable.

The bill would enhance our government’s ability to deliver results for workers, consumers, public health, and our environment.

And it would level the playing field so that ordinary people
– not just big corporations
– can weigh in on potential rules that affect them.”

More than 70 groups in the 🔸Coalition for Sensible Safeguards 🔸are calling on senators to endorse the bill introduced today by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.),

👉The House version of the bill -- #HR1507, introduced by U.S. Rep. Pramila #Jayapal (D-Wash.) in March 2023, already has 74 cosponsors. 

Specifically, the bill would…
• Codify #Chevron #deference, the recently overturned legal principle that courts must defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of statutory ambiguity is reasonable;
• Require #disclosure of changes and the sources of changes made to draft rules during the White House regulatory review process;
• Bar the White House from #unreasonably #delaying essential safeguards;
• Make it a crime for corporations to submit #false #information to regulators;
• Require anyone submitting scientific or technical research to #disclose potential #conflicts of interest;
• Create an Office of the Public Advocate charged with increasing #public #participation in rulemaking, which will give communities that benefit most from new regulatory protections a much stronger voice in the process, including those that speak languages other than English; and
• Authorize agencies to quickly #reinstate rules rescinded through the Congressional Review Act.
