Congress Seeks to Block New Rules for Faith-Based Partnerships.

This Joint Resolution aims to nullify a recent federal regulation that defined the terms of cooperation between nine major government agencies (including Health, Education, and Housing Departments) and faith-based and neighborhood organizations. If passed, the new rules governing these partnerships and funding mechanisms would be canceled, leaving previous procedures in effect. This action affects how federal aid and social services are delivered through community groups.
