I don’t know if this helps but may give some ideas.
The Congressional Review Act was passed in 1996. In essence it says all regulation has to be reviewed by congress before being implemented. It has been largely ignored, putting into question much regulation and law. It is good legislation, required Congress to revisit the law they passed.

This is how Trump eliminated a lot of Zero’s last minute regulation, a technicality of not following CRA, not a discussion of the issue. In my research only about 100 items have been reviewed under CRA?
So what happens if something in the last 23 years should have been submitted under CRA and wasn’t? In theory, current regulation is canceled as if it never existed.
But this is a can of worms and no one want’s to open it. Except Trump of course. It is a loaded gun that can be fired forward and backward and at us. But it is GOOD LAW, forcing govt to move slowly. But like much law, can be ignored as it has since 1996.
I am working on a particular bit of regulation passed in 2013 and have determine that it was never been reviewed under CRA. My next step is determining if it SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED by the Government Accountability Office GAO. If it should have and wasn’t I have to find out how to pull the trigger.
So if you really want to do something about it, I have given you a tool. Trump has established precedence for us.

Thanx much, PeterPrinciple
You would think some company being raked over the coals for a new punitive regulation would have challenged the same in court by now.
