Prof. Hickman Interviewed by Tax Notes Regarding Implications of Regulatory Accountability Act for Tax Regulations
Professor Kristin Hickman was quoted extensively in an article published by Tax Notes Today regarding the implications for tax regulations of the Regulatory Accountability Act of 2017 (S. 951), which was introduced in the Senate by Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), and co-sponsored by Senators Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). The article included Prof. Hickman's thoughts on potential changes to procedural requirements for agency regulations, review of regulatory actions by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), and standards of judicial review for agency interpretations of law.
