Congress seeks to block new Education Department rule on sex discrimination.

This resolution aims to nullify a recent Department of Education rule concerning non-discrimination based on sex in federally funded educational programs. If passed, the rule expanding or clarifying the definition of sex discrimination in schools will not take effect. This means educational institutions will continue to operate under previous federal guidelines regarding gender equality and discrimination prevention.
Key points
The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a specific Department of Education regulation (89 Fed. Reg. 33474).
If successful, the new federal standards for non-discrimination based on sex (Title IX) in schools will be prevented from implementation.
