About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · April 18, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This joint resolution seeks to block a federal rule developed by nine agencies—including the Departments of Education, Homeland Security, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Labor, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and the Agency for International Development—that establishes guidelines for partnerships between the federal government and faith-based and neighborhood organizations. The resolution was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio and seven other Republican senators in April 2024 and uses Congress's power to disapprove regulations issued by executive agencies. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and prevented from taking effect. The resolution does not establish any new federal funding, requirements, or timelines but rather aims to reverse an existing regulatory rule that was published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2024.
