ACUS Recommendation 2023-1, Proactive Disclosure of Agency Legal Materials, identifies statutory reforms that, if enacted by Congress, would provide clear standards regarding what legal materials agencies must publish and where agencies must publish them (whether in the Federal Register, on the agency's website, or elsewhere). The amendments also account for technological developments and correct certain statutory ambiguities and drafting errors. Recommendation 2023-1 further directs the Office of the Chair to “prepare and submit to Congress proposed statutory changes” that would, if enacted, implement these reforms. Consistent with that directive, the Office of the Chair has convened this Working Group to assist with its preparation of the necessary statutory revisions and ensure that the reforms transmitted to Congress faithfully and accurately implement the recommendation.
