Executive Order 13777: Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda
On February 24, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order aimed at implementing and enforcing the President’s deregulatory agenda. This order builds upon and supplements a previous executive order which instructed agencies to ensure that the net costs of regulations issued this year was no more than zero and to identify two regulations for potential repeal for everyone one regulation issued.
