Summary

Regulatory Transition Act of 1995 - Establishes a moratorium on Federal regulatory rulemaking actions from November 9, 1994, through June 30, 1995, with certain emergency exceptions for presidentially designated imminent threats to health or safety, or actions necessary for enforcement of criminal laws. Suspends until July 1, 1995, starting 30 days after enactment of this Act, the effectiveness of any such action taken after November 9, 1994, but before enactment of this Act. Requires the President to inventory and publish in the Federal Register a list of all covered regulatory rulemaking actions pending on the date of enactment of this Act. Authorizes civil actions by anyone adversely affected by any conduct of a Federal agency in violation of this Act.
