What it does
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Department of Veterans Affairs rule concerning reproductive health services, which would nullify the rule’s legal effect if passed. It affects veterans who rely on VA healthcare by potentially blocking access to certain reproductive health services covered under the rule. The resolution was introduced by a group of senators and discharged from committee for consideration, but a motion to proceed to its consideration was rejected in the Senate by a vote of 48–50.
