Bill > HJRes36

This resolution is a congressional mechanism for disapproving a specific rule issued by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture related to law enforcement and criminal prohibitions, which was published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024. By passing this resolution, Congress would nullify the rule, effectively preventing it from being implemented or having any legal standing. The resolution uses a process outlined in Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations through a formal legislative procedure. This type of resolution is a check on executive branch rulemaking, enabling Congress to exercise oversight and potentially block administrative rules that they believe are inappropriate, overreaching, or not in the best interest of the public.
