Trump made it so over 12,000 regulations that keep us healthy
and safe may expire soon!

As a parting gift, Trump intentionally kneecapped the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which includes the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These
agencies have obviously been extremely focused on fighting COVID-19 and
Trump saw that as a perfect way to sneak in a rule called the SUNSET rule
that forces them to do significant amounts of busy work just to keep basic
health and safety regulations alive.
Sign the petition and demand that Congress use the
Congressional Review Act to throw out this last-minute rule from the Trump
administration!
The SUNSET rule dictates that any rule or regulation under
the umbrella of HHS that is over 10 years old must be reviewed within the
next 5 years. That's 12,400 different regulations, each extremely important.
It sounds like a good thing until you realize it's not possible for these
agencies on their budgets to get through this kind of review and the result
will be hundreds, if not thousands, of critical health and safety
regulations that get tossed out and expose people to danger! Some of the
regulations at stake are laws like HIPAA, which keeps your personal health
information private, or certain food standards that mean we aren't drinking
or eating poison like arsenic.
Health officials are calling this SUNSET rule a "ticking
time bomb." We need to ask Congress to stop it before it's too late!
Thank you,

P.S. Over 12,000 health and safety regulations could
disappear in the U.S. if this stands. Sign now to ask Congress to revoke the
SUNSET rule.
