Bill Summary
A BILL To amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide for additional time for Congress to disapprove of rules.
AI Summary
This bill proposes reforms to the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations. Specifically, the bill modifies two key sections of the existing law. First, it removes subsection (d) from section 801 and adjusts the subsequent subsection numbering. Second, it revises section 802 by redefining what constitutes a "joint resolution" for the purpose of disapproving agency rules, stipulating that such a resolution must be introduced after the agency's report is received by Congress and must include specific language stating that Congress disapproves the rule and that it shall have no force or effect. The bill also eliminates subsection (e) from section 802 and renumbers the following subsections. These changes appear designed to provide Congress with more explicit and standardized procedures for reviewing and potentially blocking federal regulations, potentially making it easier for lawmakers to challenge rules they believe are inappropriate or overreaching.
