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 formally expresses Congress's disapproval of a new rule proposed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Executive Officer for Immigration Review concerning "Circumvention of Lawful Pathways," meaning the rule will not be put into effect. The Congressional Review Act, referenced as chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code, provides Congress with the authority to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies. This specific rule, published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2023, aimed to define and address situations where individuals might try to bypass established legal immigration processes. By passing this resolution, Congress is effectively blocking this particular USCIS and Executive Officer for Immigration Review regulation from becoming law.
