On February 24, 2017, President Trump signed the Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda executive order that will establish a task force and regulatory reform officer at each US federal agency, appointed by agency heads. The purpose of these new roles will be to enforce the President's agenda going forward, including the President's previous executive order that requires agencies to repeal two rules for every new rule that they issue. The task forces are responsible for reviewing existing regulations within 90 days to determine if any can be repealed or amended.
