Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This joint resolution seeks to block a rule from the Office of Management and Budget that requires federal infrastructure projects to display an "Investing in America Emblem" on signs to increase transparency about federal funding. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can disapprove federal agency rules, and this resolution would prevent the emblem requirement from taking effect. The rule, originally issued as a Controller Alert in February 2023, would affect federal agencies overseeing infrastructure projects funded by recent legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Government Accountability Office determined in August 2024 that the emblem requirement constitutes a formal rule subject to congressional review. If approved, this resolution would eliminate the rule entirely with no force or effect.
