Bill > HJRes92

This Joint Resolution disapproves a policy update from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) that applied the Supreme Court's decision in *Bostock v. Clayton County* to how the FNS handles complaints of discrimination. The *Bostock* decision, issued in 2020, ruled that federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in employment also protects LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The FNS's policy update, which was issued as a memorandum and later confirmed to be a "rule" under the Congressional Review Act by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), aimed to incorporate this interpretation into the FNS's procedures for processing discrimination complaints. This Joint Resolution, passed by Congress, effectively nullifies that FNS policy update, meaning it will have no legal effect. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) is a law that allows Congress to review and potentially overturn regulations issued by federal agencies.
