H.R. 4112: Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025
The Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025 aims to modify the rules related to how Congress can disapprove of federal regulations. The main components of the bill include the following key changes:
Short Title
This legislation is referred to as the Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025.
Changes to the Congressional Review Act
Amendments to Section 801
The bill proposes the removal of subsection (d) from Section 801 of the Congressional Review Act, which relates to the processes and definitions for disapproving regulations. Following this, the remaining subsections (e) through (g) will be renumbered to become subsections (d) through (f).
Amendments to Section 802
Modifications are also suggested for Section 802, specifically:
- Subsection (a) will be amended to clarify the definition of a "joint resolution." It will only refer to a resolution introduced after Congress receives a report about a certain rule. This resolution would express Congress's disapproval of a particular rule, asserting that the rule should not take effect.
- Subsection (e) will be removed as part of the changes, and the remaining subsections (f) and (g) will be renumbered as (e) and (f) accordingly.
In summary, this act seeks to streamline and clarify the process by which Congress can reject certain rules set forth by federal agencies, potentially changing the timeline and structure of how these disapprovals occur.
