The "FREE Act" wants government helpers to make getting a special permission (called a permit) faster and easier, so if they take too long or forget to help, people get a "yes" automatically. If those helpers don't do their homework on time, they might have to pay for a lawyer.

Imagine a project where each classroom decides if they can play games by using simple rules instead of getting a bunch of permissions from the teacher first. The FREE Act wants government helpers (called agencies) to do something like that—make their rules simpler and faster, like a game with easy rules, so they save time and money.

The FREE Act is a plan to make getting permits from the government quicker and easier by allowing them to be automatically approved if people promise to follow certain rules. Agencies must look at their current systems to see if they can use this new faster way, and they still get to check if people are actually following the rules.
