Groups File Lawsuit Challenging the President’s Two-for-One Order | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

On January 30th, the President signed an Executive Order (EO) that requires Agencies to cut two existing regulations for every new rule introduced. Yesterday, three public advocacy groups – The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Communications Workers of America, and Public Citizen – joined together to file a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia alleging that Executive agencies cannot lawfully comply with the President’s two for one order because doing so would violate the statutes under which agencies operate. The suit asks the court to issue a declaration that the order cannot be lawfully implemented and to bar Agencies from implementing the order.
