Summary

What This Bill Does:
This bill creates a new task force called the "Regulatory Oversight and Review Task Force". The task force's job is to find and suggest changes or removal of federal regulations that make U.S. businesses less competitive globally, create barriers for new businesses, increase costs, have lengthy permitting processes, impact energy production, restrict mining of critical minerals, or hinder capital formation.

Who Benefits and How:
- Businesses (especially small ones): They'll benefit from potential changes in regulations that could reduce costs, ease entry barriers, and simplify permitting processes.
- U.S. Consumers: If the task force's recommendations lead to increased competition, consumers might see lower prices for goods and services.

Who Bears the Burden and How:
- Federal Agencies: They'll have to provide documents and information to help the task force do its job.
- Taxpayers: While there's no direct cost mentioned, any additional administrative tasks or resources required by federal agencies might indirectly impact taxpayers.

Key Provisions:
- The task force is composed of government officials and private sector representatives with expertise in regulatory policy, compliance, economics, law, business management, and small businesses.
- The task force must consult with the Government Accountability Office while carrying out its functions.
- It will establish a user-friendly website for submitting recommendations and accessing reports.
- Federal agencies must provide applicable documents and information upon request.
- The task force will solicit written recommendations from the public, interested parties, federal agencies, and other relevant entities through various means (website, mail, etc.).
- Recommendations will be published in the Federal Register, on the task force's website, and on regulations.gov.
