About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 23, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Health and Human Services rule issued in May 2024 that addresses nondiscrimination in health programs and activities. If approved, the resolution would nullify the HHS rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect or being enforced. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process, a fast-track procedure that allows Congress to disapprove of federal regulations within a limited timeframe. The measure was introduced by Republican members of the House and would affect how health care providers and programs handle discrimination issues. No specific funding or implementation timelines are mentioned, as the resolution's sole purpose is to reject the HHS regulatory action.
