This legislation would let Congress vote to overturn multiple federal regulations at once, instead of one by one, if those rules were sent to Congress during the final year of a president’s term . Today, the review process generally covers late-term rules in the next Congress, but each vote can target only a single rule; this bill allows bundling several of those rules into one joint resolution so they would have no force or effect if disapproved together .

In everyday terms, it would make it faster and easier for Congress to block a group of last-minute rules from federal agencies. That could change how quickly new rules take hold—or get rolled back—affecting agencies and the people, businesses, and communities that follow those rules .

• Who is affected: Federal agencies issuing late-term rules; people and businesses subject to those rules .
• What changes: Congress could combine several late-term rules in one disapproval vote, rather than voting on each rule separately; combined rules would be canceled if the resolution passes .
• When it applies: For rules submitted during the final year of a president’s term, with the existing review window in the following Congress still in play .
