Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Requires agencies to publish a Consumer Price Information Statement (CPIS) when they propose any "major rule" (per 5 U.S.C. 804).
The CPIS must describe qualitative or quantitative expected effects on consumer prices across energy, food, housing, transportation, and health care; identify sensitive populations and regional variation; and summarize key assumptions and methodologies.
The CPIS must appear in the Federal Register with the proposed major rule and on the issuing agency’s website.
Low-cost, narrow transparency bills often advance in the House but face greater friction in the Senate; modest implementation questions remain.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a clear, narrow administrative requirement—publication of a Consumer Price Information Statement for major rules—with a defined set of content elements and basic publication mechanics, but it leaves important operational specifics unspecified.
Liberals emphasize equity, methodological rigor, and mitigation obligations.

Likely cautiously favorable to the transparency goal, valuing identification of impacts on low-income people and seniors.
Would push for robust, quantitative methods and mitigation for disproportionate harms, and worry about the provision being used to undermine public-benefit regulations.
Generally supportive of greater transparency about consumer price effects, but cautious about added duplication, resource costs, and procedural delays.
Would favor clear methodological guidance and coordination with existing Regulatory Impact Analyses to limit redundancy.
Likely favorable because it forces agencies to quantify consumer price impacts, offering ammunition against costly regulations.
Views CPIS as increasing accountability and consumer awareness, though some may note potential administrative burden without new funds.
