A second bill from Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, taking aim at federal regulations is headed to the floor of the House of Representatives. The Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act is intended to break up “sue and settle” practices among federal agencies and special interest groups. The bill, which Collins called a “fairness issue,” cleared the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
