Ordered to be Reported by the Yeas and Nays: 21 - 18.
This joint resolution would reject a rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that establishes minimum staffing standards for long-term care facilities and requires additional transparency reporting on how Medicaid payments are used at these institutions. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a process that allows Congress to overturn federal regulations through a simple majority vote. If passed, the rule would be nullified and would have no legal effect. The rule affects nursing homes and other long-term care facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding, as well as the patients and families who rely on these services. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee for consideration.
