reregulating
Reinstating oversight rules
Reregulating is the process of imposing regulations again on something that was previously deregulated.
Industries like banking, airlines, or utilities that were freed from government oversight may later face renewed controls: After the financial crisis, lawmakers focused on reregulating the banking sector.
The term implies a policy reversal—restoring rules that had been deliberately removed.
