This is a standard event noun formed from the verb 'reregulate' with '-ion'.
Etymology
The word reregulation comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and regulation meaning 'a rule or control'. So reregulation is literally 'making rules again', which is why it means bringing government rules back after a period of fewer rules.
