What it does
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Federal Trade Commission rule concerning premerger notification, reporting, and waiting period requirements under the Congressional Review Act. If enacted, it would nullify the FTC’s rule published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2024, rendering it without legal force or effect. The resolution affects businesses and entities subject to federal merger reporting requirements by blocking the implementation of the FTC’s updated rule. It was introduced by Mr. Fitzgerald and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
