Midwestern state senator revives DOGE-aligned bills as GOP prepares for DC takeover
Fox News
Sen. Eric Schmitt is tackling the administrative state by debuting key legislation in the newly Republican-controlled Congress.

The ERASER Act would target regulations by requiring agencies to repeal three rules before issuing any new major rule and ensure that the new rule does not exceed the cost of the repealed rules. The Separation of Powers Restoration Act (SOPRA) would address the Administrative Procedure Act by ending the standards of executive deference and allowing courts to weigh arguments without affording deference to either party.
