Official title: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act".
Introduced September 18, 2025 by Angus Stanley King · Last progress December 18, 2025
Repeals and nullifies an HHS-issued policy called "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act" by declaring that the policy has no force or effect. The resolution cites a Government Accountability Office opinion that the document qualifies as a rule under Title 5, Chapter 8, and thus removes the policy’s legal effect nationwide.
