HM 1191 Summary

• Petitions Congress to propose a constitutional amendment titled the "Regulation Freedom Amendment" that would require federal regulations opposed by one-quarter of either House or Senate members to be approved by majority vote in both chambers.

• Argues that growth and abuse of federal regulatory authority threatens constitutional liberties protected by the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments and that federal regulators lack sufficient accountability to elected representatives.

• References the bipartisan REINS Act of 2015 (H.R. 427), which requires Congressional approval of major new federal regulations, noting the President has shown no inclination to sign it.

• States that a constitutional amendment is necessary because it cannot be repealed or waived by future Congresses or Presidents, unlike statutory law.

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