About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · August 2, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This joint resolution seeks to reject the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's fee schedule rule for fiscal year 2024, which was published in June 2024. The resolution uses Congress's power under federal law to disapprove regulations it disagrees with, and if passed, would nullify the NRC's fee rule and prevent it from taking effect. The resolution does not specify what the disputed fees are or why Congress objects to them, but it represents an attempt to block the NRC's authority to set its own funding mechanism. There is no specific funding or timeline mentioned in the resolution itself, though it would need to pass both chambers of Congress and potentially survive a presidential veto to become law.
