So who is KeyPoint?!

they have NOT produced the documents going on 5 months now?!

so, they place 3rd parties between Congressional committees and actual oversight to push blame?!

WTF?!

DOJ refusing grants to LE based on racial discrimination with ZERO announcement, facts, etc?!

they just made the decision to DENY grants

whoa?! Congress appears to have zero say so anymore based on these questions!

So they apparently created a whole branch of general document production instead of the FOIA?! says the Assistant secretary of state Julia Frifield yet I find myself sitting hear thinking WTF is it taking so long to produce emails from 2012 then for Hillary Clinton?!

What a fucking dog and pony show Congress is and the buffers they build to push blame to snow the sheeples as they suck the money and life from you!

They work for Obama !!!!

Kadzik is assistant Attorney General!

OVersight committees are not being given access when THEY ARE THE OVERSIGHT!

THIS IS FUCKED!

Oh boy and now we have panel reps here to answer questions that cannot answer because they weren't here a year ago when the information was requested!

Seriously, this is disgusting the amount of hoops these OVERSIGHT committees have to go through to get requested information.

In contrast they showed an example that the secretary requested information and they were able to produce it immediately.

it boils down to stalling tactics that is being driven by the highest person in charge

committee over and that was a joke!

dysfunctional describes it best and this is oversight... that should tell you how bad FOIA is

Our illusion of freedom is fading.

REP JOHN RATCLIFFE speaking in support HR712

"This administration averages 224 pages of new regulations every single day" Rep Ratcliffe

this bill makes the administration alert the "PEOPLE" for 6 months before they can mandate new regulations when the citizens are clueless!

I like what he said to open his time referencing (Oregon situation) by taking a shot at this administration that would enforce overreach regulations and punishments when they are allowing terrorists free from gitmo, allowing immigrants to run free etc..promoting Islamic terror basically

Sunshine for Regulatory Decrees and Settlements Act of 2015

(Sec. 2) Defines a "covered civil action" as a civil action seeking to compel agency action and alleging that an agency is unlawfully withholding or unreasonably delaying an agency action relating to a regulatory action that would affect: (1) the rights of private persons other than the person bringing the action; or (2) a state, local, or tribal government. Defines a "covered consent decree" or a "covered settlement agreement" as: (1) a consent decree or settlement agreement entered into in a covered civil action, and (2) any other consent decree or settlement agreement that requires agency action relating to such a regulatory action that affects the rights of such persons or a state, local, or tribal government.

(Sec. 3) Requires an agency against which a covered civil action is brought to publish the notice of intent to sue and the complaint in a readily accessible manner, including by making such notice and complaint available online not later than 15 days after receiving service of such notice or complaint. Allows parties affected by agency actions to intervene in any covered civil action and sets forth procedures and requirements for a court in considering a motion to intervene.

Requires an agency seeking to enter a covered consent decree or settlement agreement to publish such decree or agreement in the Federal Register and online not later than 60 days before it is filed with the court. Provides for public comment and public hearings on such decree or agreement.

Requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) or an agency head, if an agency is litigating a matter independently, to certify to the court that DOJ or the agency head approves of: (1) any proposed covered consent decree that includes terms that convert into a nondiscretionary duty a discretionary authority of an agency to propose, promulgate, revise, or amend regulations, commit an agency to expend funds that have not been appropriated and budgeted or to seek a particular appropriation or budget authorization, divest an agency of discretion committed to it by statute or the Constitution, or otherwise afford any relief that the court could not enter under its own authority; or (2) any proposed covered settlement agreement that includes terms that provide a remedy for a failure by the agency to comply with the terms of the agreement other than the revival of the civil action resolved by the agreement, interferes with the authority of an agency to revise, amend, or issue rules, or commits the agency to expend funds that have not been appropriated and budgeted or to exercise in a particular way discretion which was committed to the agency by statute or the Constitution.

Requires each agency to submit to Congress an annual report that includes: (1) the number, identity, and content of covered civil actions brought against, and covered consent decrees or settlement agreements entered against or into by, the agency; and (2) any award of attorneys fees or costs in a civil action resolved by a covered consent decree or settlement agreement entered against or into by the agency.

(Sec. 4) Requires a court to grant de novo review of a covered consent decree or settlement agreement if an agency files a motion to modify such decree or agreement on the basis that its terms are no longer fully in the public interest due to the agency's obligations to fulfill other duties or due to changed facts and circumstances.

(Sec. 5) Makes this Act applicable to: (1) any covered civil action filed on or after this Act's enactment date, and (2) any covered consent decree or settlement agreement proposed to a court on or after such date.

Chaffetz left the committee to come over to the floor to speak to this HR712

Basically the Alert ACt which is part of this HR712 would force a new regulation on federal agencies to setup better documentation reporting which relates to the OP.
