Shining a Light on Government Guidance: The GOOD Act (H.R. 1515)

Send us a text

In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we break down H.R. 1515, the Guidance Out Of Darkness (GOOD) Act. This bipartisan bill seeks to increase transparency by requiring federal agencies to make all guidance documents publicly available in a single online location. The act aims to ensure that policies, interpretations, and regulatory guidelines—often buried deep within agency websites—are easily accessible to the public, businesses, and lawmakers.

Join Brian Barnes along with our AI hosts Avery and Iris as they explore the implications of this legislation. Is this a step toward more accountable government and public access to important regulatory information? Or does it risk bureaucratic overload and information mismanagement? We discuss how the GOOD Act fits into broader transparency efforts and what it could mean for government accountability in the digital age.
