What it does
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services titled "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act," which was published on March 3, 2025. Under the Congressional Review Act (chapter 8 of title 5, U.S. Code), Congress is asserting its authority to nullify the rule, which would then have no legal force or effect. The resolution affects the implementation of this HHS policy, which the Government Accountability Office has determined qualifies as a rule subject to congressional disapproval. If enacted, it would prevent the policy from being enforced as a binding agency action.
