Ordered to be Reported by the Yeas and Nays: 24 - 23.
This joint resolution disapproves a Department of Commerce rule that would have revised firearms licensing requirements. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution uses Congress's authority under the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows Congress to overturn federal regulations within a specific timeframe. The measure was introduced by a group of Republican representatives in June 2024 and was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. No specific funding or timeline requirements are included in the resolution itself, as joint resolutions of this type operate by simply blocking the implementation of an existing regulatory rule.
