Because we have a Democratic administration that is taking this stuff seriously.
- robertlagrant 2y agoSeriously, though. Why now?
- tech_ken 2y agoBecause that administration needs red meat to activate their base ahead of an election cycle

- fckgw 2y agoOh no, a sneaky politician trying to win my vote by making material changes that improve my life!
- biftek 2y agoThey could/should have been doing this stuff from day one tho not waiting until the 11th hour.
- dpe82 2y agoSee my comment above; administrative rules generally take a couple of years to work their way through the system before they can take effect.
- Overtonwindow 2y agoBut.. why did you have to wait so long? Politicians should have been making material changes to improve your life without it being an election year. We should demand better of public servants.
- dpe82 2y agoNew rules take time. Depending on the complexity of the regulation it can take a year or two to write (lots of internal reviews) and then there's a long statutorily-required public comment period during which an agency is required to read and address every comment. For this regulation, the public comment period appeared to start Jan 8, 2023.
