On Motion to Recommit — H R 77 — Midnight Rules Relief Act

- This House bill from the 119th Congress is titled the Midnight Rules Relief Act. - Official subject tags include administrative procedure, congressional oversight, and legislative procedure. - The official summary would allow Congress to disapprove multiple regulations under one joint resolution of disapproval if the regulations were submitted for review during a portion of the final year of a President’s term. - Under current law as described here, the Congressional Review Act generally provides additional review during the succeeding Congress for regulations submitted during the last 60 legislative days of the prior Congress, but each joint resolution may disapprove only one regulation. - The record does not change other CRA timing rules beyond that multi-regulation authority.
