"The undersigned organizations representing the public health, medical and patient advocacy communities strongly oppose legislative efforts that undermine the regulatory process and weaken critical public health protections. Legislation including the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act (H.R. 142), the Midnight Rules Relief Act (S. 164/H.R. 77) and the Guidance Out of Darkness (GOOD) Act would significantly hinder the timely implementation of evidence-based protections, jeopardizing the health and safety of your constituents. We strongly oppose these bills and similar legislation."
