Bill > SJRes8

This joint resolution directly challenges a recent rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) concerning employment authorization documentation. Specifically, the resolution seeks to nullify a DHS rule that would increase the automatic extension period for certain employment authorization document renewal applicants. By invoking the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), Congress is exercising its legislative power to formally disapprove and invalidate the administrative rule. The resolution declares that the specific DHS rule published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2024 (which appears to modify the length of time workers can continue working while their employment authorization documents are being renewed) will have no legal force or effect. This type of resolution is a mechanism for Congress to check the regulatory power of federal agencies by blocking newly implemented administrative rules that they believe exceed appropriate bounds or are not in the national interest.
