Summary

Expresses the House’s view that the Secretary of Health and Human Services should withdraw a Federal Register notice published March 3, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 11029) because that notice would reduce opportunities for public notice-and-comment on HHS rules, and that HHS should affirm rulemaking practices as they existed on February 27, 2025. The resolution restates the importance of notice-and-comment rulemaking and public input for HHS regulatory actions. This measure is nonbinding and advisory (a "sense of the House"), so it does not change law or create new legal requirements; it signals the chamber’s preference and urges the Secretary to take specific administrative action consistent with continued public participation in rulemaking.

Key Points

• Affirms the importance of public notice-and-comment in HHS rulemaking.
• Specifically urges withdrawal of a March 3, 2025 Federal Register notice (90 Fed. Reg. 11029) that the House views as reducing public comment opportunities.
• Calls for HHS to affirm rulemaking practices as they were on February 27, 2025 to preserve public engagement.
