About the bill
The Increasing Regulatory Fairness Act would extend the time between the draft notice and final notice for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services publication on payment rates and changes. Currently there is a 45 day period in which Congress may review the draft and a 15 day period to comment on proposed changes. The bill would extend these times to from 45 to 60 and from 15 to 30. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA5) spoke on behalf of the bill. It was passed by voice vote in the House.
