This order claims to prohibit the proposal or issuing of any policies until a Trump administration official reviews and approves them.

Anticipated Impact

By giving Trump administration officials complete review authority over issuing and proposing regulatory actions, guidance documents, and rules, this order makes it much more difficult for our government to perform essential functions, which include ensuring our food, medicine, transportation, and water are safe. Additionally, this order proposes to delay the effective dates of certain policies, as well as withdraw others that have not yet been published. Government cannot work for people and communities across this country by grinding it to a halt.
