(9/17) Freedom of speech isn't a blank cheque. Article 19(2) puts reasonable restrictions for a reason. Academics are free to speak, but not free from consequences. #AliKhan #ConstitutionalBalance

Absolutely—putting the brakes on runaway regulation isn’t radical, it’s responsible. HB 11 says: if it costs six figures, it better face the voters’ voice. @VivekGRamaswamy @WarrenDavidson @berniemoreno #OHLeg #REINSAct #ConstitutionalBalance

Restoring Constitutional Balance: Ohio's REINS-Inspired Reform In a consequential move, Ohio State Representatives Ron Ferguson (R-Wintersville) @ronfergusonohio and Brian Lorenz (R-Powell) @lorenzforohio have introduced legislation that, while modest in presentation, strikes at the heart of a pressing constitutional imbalance: the unchecked expansion of regulatory power by unelected bureaucrats. House Bill 11, the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, proposes to restore legislative oversight over economically significant regulations—a long-overdue rebalancing of power between the branches of government. At its core, House Bill 11 is about reaffirming the first principles of representative government. The bill would require that any proposed administrative rule with an estimated economic impact—either in agency expenditures or private sector compliance costs—of $100,000 or more must first receive legislative approval before taking effect. In essence, if an unelected agency wants to impose a rule with a major financial consequence, it must make its case to the elected representatives of the people. This isn’t radical. It’s constitutional. For years, Americans have watched as state and federal agencies have blurred the line between executing the law and creating it. Administrative rules—often lengthy, complex, and costly—carry the force of law but are crafted outside the deliberative, transparent, and accountable processes our system was built upon. Ohio’s REINS-style bill seeks to correct that imbalance. The logic behind the REINS framework is rooted in several prudent aims: ✅Restoring Legislative Oversight: Major regulations should not be born of memos and meetings behind closed doors. They should be debated and voted on by legislators answerable to the people. ✅Ensuring Evidence-Based Policymaking: The bill promotes a disciplined approach to rulemaking—requiring that regulations be supported by cost-benefit analyses, justifications grounded in data, and transparent assumptions. ✅Defining What Counts: By specifying a $100,000 threshold, the legislation sets a clear standard for what constitutes a “major rule.” This clarity allows agencies to prepare accordingly and gives the legislature a manageable oversight role without bottlenecking the entire regulatory process. ✅Timely Review Without Paralysis: Critics often warn that such reforms slow government. But the REINS framework builds in expedited review processes to ensure agencies aren’t unduly delayed in implementing necessary protections—just subject to a constitutional check. ✅Acknowledging Limits While Raising the Bar: House Bill 11is not a silver bullet. It doesn’t unwind the thicket of existing regulations or address every procedural shortcoming in agency rulemaking. But it raises the standard going forward—and that’s a worthy beginning. Perhaps most important, though, is the philosophical underpinning: accountability. Regulations written by unelected officials can alter the everyday lives of citizens—from the price of electricity to how small businesses operate. Yet the public often has little recourse. By insisting that major rules receive the assent of elected lawmakers, Ohio’s proposal ensures that those wielding rulemaking power must also bear political responsibility for their consequences. In a time when many Americans—left, right, and center—feel increasingly disconnected from the decisions that shape their lives, efforts like House Bill 11 represent a measured, constitutional step toward restoring trust in government. In Ohio, @ronfergusonohio and @lorenzforohio are working to ensure sovereignty does not reside in agencies. It resides with the citizens and the representatives they choose.
