Bill > HRes369

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' view that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) should withdraw a specific Federal Register notice from March 3, 2025, which would reduce public notice and comment opportunities in the rulemaking process. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public participation in regulatory procedures, noting that such engagement is essential for creating fair and sound policy and helps prevent arbitrary or harmful rulemaking. It highlights that HHS has successfully followed Administrative Procedure Act notice and comment period procedures for 54 years, and that the department's regulations significantly impact millions of Americans' daily lives. The resolution argues that program beneficiaries, state and local governments, human services providers, and organizations should continue to have meaningful input when HHS proposes regulatory changes. By calling for the withdrawal of the notice and a return to previous practices as of February 27, 2025, the resolution seeks to maintain robust public involvement in the HHS rulemaking process.
