Latest Action · March 25, 2026
Motion to proceed to consideration of measure rejected in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 48 - 50. Record Vote Number: 72.
This joint resolution would overturn a Department of Veterans Affairs rule on reproductive health services that was published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2025. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove federal agency rules within a specific timeframe after they are issued. If passed by both chambers of Congress, the VA rule would be nullified and would have no legal effect. The resolution primarily affects veterans who receive healthcare through the VA system and would impact whatever reproductive health services were addressed in the original VA rule. The legislation was introduced by Senator Blumenthal and 34 Democratic co-sponsors on January 27, 2026, and was placed on the Senate calendar on February 12, 2026, after being discharged from committee through a petition process.
