This joint resolution seeks to block a Federal Trade Commission rule that restricts non-compete agreements, which are contracts that prevent workers from taking jobs with competitors after leaving a company. If passed, the resolution would eliminate the FTC rule published in May 2024, preventing it from going into effect. The resolution directly affects workers and employers across all industries by determining whether non-compete clauses remain enforceable. No new funding is required since the resolution simply disapproves an existing agency regulation. This type of congressional action is called a "disapproval resolution" and follows a fast-track procedure that allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules without going through the normal legislative process.
