Midnight Rules Relief Act

This bill lets Congress vote once to block several federal regulations at the same time, but only if those rules were sent to Congress during the final year of a President’s term. Right now, Congress can only use one vote to block one rule at a time under the Congressional Review Act. This change would allow a single joint resolution to cover multiple late-term rules together .

Key points:

• What changes: Congress could combine multiple disapprovals into one vote for rules issued late in a President’s term, instead of voting rule-by-rule.
• When it applies: For rules submitted during the final year of a President’s term, within the review window set by existing law .
