The bill makes it quicker and simpler for Congress to disapprove multiple late-term presidential rules through a single standardized vote, improving oversight speed at the cost of greater regulatory instability and less granular congressional debate over individual rules.
Taxpayers and state governments: Congress can vote to disapprove multiple presidential rules issued in a President's final year in a single vote, enabling faster rollback of late-term rules and more timely congressional oversight.
Members of Congress and congressional staff: Provides clear, standardized resolving‑clause language for Congressional Review Act disapproval resolutions, reducing drafting errors and accelerating enactment of disapprovals.
All regulated parties and federal agencies: Bundling many disparate rules into one up‑or‑down disapproval vote concentrates repeal power and can limit Congress's ability to debate and consider each rule on its own merits.
Federal employees, government contractors, and regulated entities: Agencies may face greater regulatory uncertainty because multiple rules submitted in a President's final year can be overturned together, disrupting implementation and planning.

Amends the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to let Congress adopt a single joint resolution to disapprove multiple final agency rules that were reported to Congress during a President’s final year, and provides model language for the resolving clause of such multi-rule disapproval resolutions. It also includes a short-title provision. The change applies only to rules for which agencies filed the statutorily required reports during the President’s final year and specifies how to list and declare the rules void in one document, streamlining congressional disapproval of late-term regulations.
