The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wants another delay to implementation of a controversial Trump-era rule that would require the agency to sunset regulations.
HHS issued a notice Thursday to delay the effective date of the sunset rule until Sept. 22. The rule was set to go into effect March 22. HHS said it needs more time to review comments on its proposed regulation that will repeal the rule permanently.
The rule, released at the tail end of the Trump administration, calls for HHS to review every regulation. It would expire any rule 10 years after its release date unless HHS performs a review to determine whether it is still relevant or needs to be amended.
