Fixing the Freedom of Information of Act

In June 2024, the Supreme Court ended forty years of Chevron deference. Courts, not agencies, now say what the law means. That single decision is reshaping the federal rulebook. This report follows the result, tracking every rule agencies have proposed, finalized, or rescinded in the following wave of reform. Each one is scored for its impact and is tied to the executive orders behind it. This data is updated daily from the Federal Register.

The Problem of “Independent Agencies”

Today, the so-called “independent agencies” Humphrey’s Executor spawned wield great power over wide swaths of the economy and impact the lives and liberties of the American People. Many such entities possess vast investigative and prosecutorial powers, including the ability to bring enforcement actions seeking daunting injunctions and civil penalties in federal court. They also have power to bring enforcement actions in their own inhouse courts—where the agency acts as prosecutor and judge of its own cause, makes the rules of the slanted game, and almost invariably finds in favor of itself. On top of that, many have power to enact binding regulations imposing onerous compliance burdens on private parties backed by substantial penalties.

“Michigan families deserve access to affordable, high-quality health care close to home, but outdated CON laws stand in the way,” said AFP-MI State Director Tim Golding. “For years, Governor Whitmer’s administration has failed to fix a broken system that protects special interests instead of patients. These regulations have left communities, especially in rural areas, without enough hospitals, specialists, or treatment options. It is time for Governor Whitmer and MDHHS to stop putting bureaucrats in charge of who gets care and start putting patients first.”

In their filing, AFP Foundation and AFP-MI outline extensive evidence showing that CON regulations:

Reduce access to hospitals and medical services in both rural and metropolitan areas
Increase costs for patients by limiting competition and flexibility
Worsen health outcomes, including higher mortality and readmission rates for heart attacks and heart failure
Delay innovation in advanced cancer and imaging treatments

LANSING, MI – On Friday, Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP Foundation) and Americans for Prosperity–Michigan (AFP-MI) submitted joint comments to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) calling for the state to substantially deregulate its Certificate of Need (CON)...

In 2021, the Supreme Court reviewed a California law that called for the dragnet-style collection of charitable organizations’ donor lists, in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta. In a landmark free speech decision, the Supreme Court held, under the First Amendment, that the California law was unconstitutional on its face, as compelled disclosure requirements by the state must satisfy exacting scrutiny, requiring a substantial relation between the disclosure requirement and a sufficiently important governmental interest.

Free speech is the cornerstone of American democracy, and donor privacy is essential to protecting that freedom. The freedom to associate with and contribute to the causes of your choice

“The advocates of CON programs (typically, the
representatives of large hospital systems) often
characterize CON repeal as risky, dangerous, or
unknown. These concerns are unfounded. Over 100
million Americans—nearly a third of the population—
live in states without CON laws in health care. Four in-ten Americans live in states with limited CON
regimes that only apply to one or two services such as
ambulance services or nursing homes.”
