But Wait, There?s Less! The GOP Has a 'Sue and Settle' Bill They Would Like to Sell You

Last week, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) continued the parade of anti-regulatory bills resurrected from past sessions of Congress by introducing in their respective chambers the Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2015 (SRDSA). While all of these anti-regulatory bills are categorically terrible, the SRDSA really needs to be singled out for special condemnation. After all, it is the only one of the lot that purports to take on a problem - so-called "sue and settle" litigation - that no less than the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has debunked as a myth. Nevertheless, Messrs. Collins and Grassley have pressed ahead with the bill - versions of which they introduced previously in 2013 - despite the pressing real problems confronting their constituents and our country.
