HM 1269 - Regulation Freedom Amendment

• Urges Congress to propose a constitutional amendment requiring any federal regulation to be adopted by majority vote of both House and Senate if opposed by one-quarter of either chamber's members

• Proposes that when one-quarter of House or Senate members submit written declaration of opposition to a proposed federal regulation, that regulation requires majority approval from both chambers to be adopted

• References the bipartisan REINS Act of 2013 (H.R. 367), noting Congress already passed it to require approval of major federal regulations, but it lacks presidential support

• Argues a constitutional amendment is necessary because it does not require presidential approval and cannot be repealed or waived by future Congresses or Presidents

• Directs copies of the memorial be sent to the President, Senate President, House Speaker, and all Florida delegation members in Congress
