Easier Congressional Disapproval of Multiple Rules Issued at End of Presidential Term.
This Act aims to simplify the process for Congress to quickly reject multiple new regulations (known as 'midnight rules') issued by federal agencies during the final year of a President's term. The change allows Congress to vote on a package of such rules simultaneously, rather than considering each one individually. Citizens may feel the impact through the faster reversal of regulations that might affect their finances, environment, or safety, which were introduced hastily.
Key points
Procedural Change: Congress can now vote to disapprove multiple rules issued in the final year of a President's term in a single vote (en bloc).
Rules Covered: This applies only to regulations whose reports were submitted during the final year of the President's term.
Consequence: This makes it easier for a new administration or Congress to quickly overturn controversial or rushed regulations.
Citizen Impact: Potentially faster reversal of regulations that could have a significant impact on daily life, such as environmental protection, health, or the economy.
