Consumer Price Information Act of 2026

TL;DR (AI)

• The bill requires federal agencies to publish a Consumer Price Information Statement for each major rule they issue, describing potential impacts on consumer prices for key areas like energy, food, and healthcare.
• The Consumer Price Information Statement must identify populations that may be more sensitive to price impacts, including low-income households, seniors, and rural communities, and describe regional variations in impact where applicable.
• Agencies must publish these statements in the Federal Register and on their website when a major rule is proposed, using existing funds without new appropriations.
