Latest Action · May 7, 2024
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Education and the Workforce, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This joint resolution uses a congressional disapproval process to reject a Department of Labor rule about short-term, limited-duration insurance and independent health benefits that was published in April 2024. If approved, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution affects health insurance regulations and was referred to three House committees: Energy and Commerce, Education and the Workforce, and Ways and Means. The bill was introduced by Representatives Self, Roy, Brecheen, and Crenshaw in May 2024. This type of disapproval resolution allows Congress to overturn executive agency regulations through a special fast-track legislative process.
