    The Department of Justice has finalized a rule that removes certain regulations related to guidance documents, which were introduced in 2020 following Executive Order 13891. This step follows President Biden's Executive Order 13992, which revoked the earlier order to allow more flexibility in agency guidance. The Department found the old regulations unnecessary and burdensome, as they discouraged helpful guidance and required additional resource allocation to determine if documents were subject to these regulations. The Attorney General has issued a new memorandum to address the development and use of guidance documents, reflecting these updated policies.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Justice has decided to stop using some complicated rules, from 2020, that said how they could use their guides. They found these rules were making things harder and not very helpful, so now they're making it simpler to give good advice.
