Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to block a Department of Defense regulation about fees charged by architects and engineering firms that contract with the military. The rule, which was published in June 2024, would have changed how the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement handles architect and engineering service fees in military contracts. If passed, this resolution would nullify the rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by Representative Palmer and referred to the House Armed Services Committee. This type of action allows Congress to disapprove federal agency rules within a set timeframe using a streamlined process.
