Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Executive Officer for Immigration Review relating to ‘‘Circumvention of Lawful Pathways’’.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, passed by Congress, formally rejects a rule proposed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Executive Officer for Immigration Review concerning "Circumvention of Lawful Pathways." This means the rule, which was published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2023, will not be implemented and will have no legal standing. The authority for Congress to do this comes from Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows for congressional disapproval of certain agency rules. The context here is that Congress is using its oversight power to prevent a specific immigration policy from taking effect.
