The American Bar Association – The ABA expressed support this month for key reforms in Title II of H.R. 712, House-passed legislation designed to increase transparency in the federal regulatory process. In an Aug. 1 letter to Senate leaders, ABA Governmental Affairs Director Thomas M. Susman wrote that the Title II provisions in the legislation, the “All Economic Regulations Are Transparent Act” (ALERT Act), are consistent with ABA policy adopted by the association’s House of Delegates in February and should be enacted.
