- Cites concerns that more than 300 independent and executive agencies staffed by unelected officials issue thousands of rules and regulations annually, increasing consumer and compliance costs and limiting job creation
- References the REINS Act, which passed the U.S. House in 2011, 2013, and 2015 but never received a vote in the U.S. Senate, as a prior effort to address regulatory accountability
- Directs the Clerk of the Georgia House of Representatives to transmit a copy of the resolution to each member of the Georgia congressional delegation
