About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 5, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution disapproves a Department of Commerce rule issued in April 2024 that revised firearms license requirements. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution uses Congress's authority under federal law to reject regulations issued by executive agencies, a process called a Congressional Review Act disapproval. The measure was introduced by a group of Republican senators led by Senator Hagerty. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned because the resolution simply seeks to block an existing regulation rather than create a new program.
