This bill modifies how Congress reviews and rejects regulations issued near the end of a presidential term, commonly called "midnight rules." Specifically, it allows Congress to bundle multiple midnight rules together into a single disapproval resolution for a vote, rather than requiring separate votes on each rule. The bill amends the Congressional Review Act by permitting joint resolutions of disapproval to include multiple rules that were reported during the final year of a president's term, with language specifying that all covered rules would have no legal force or effect if Congress approves the disapproval resolution. The legislation does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it primarily addresses procedural changes to the rule review process. This change would streamline the legislative process for congressional action on end-of-term regulatory actions.
