Summary

The REPORTS Act mandates that whenever a federal agency proposes a major rule, it must include an analysis of the rule’s effect on people near or below the poverty line and on racial inequity. It also directs the Government Accountability Office to publish annual reports for ten years on the impact of selected high‑cost programs on the same groups, with optional focus on the racial wealth gap. The goal is to make the consequences of government actions on vulnerable populations more transparent.
