About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 2, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This joint resolution would overturn a Department of Labor rule issued in April 2024 that regulates short-term health insurance plans and other limited benefits coverage. The rule being targeted addressed how short-term, limited-duration insurance policies and independent health benefits can be offered, which was intended to clarify rules around these types of plans. If passed, this resolution would prevent the Labor Department rule from taking effect and would essentially nullify it. The resolution uses a congressional disapproval process under federal law that allows Congress to reject executive agency regulations. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 by four Republican senators and would affect health insurance plans and potentially the people who rely on short-term or limited health coverage options.
