Congress Overturns 23 Agency Rules Under Congressional Review Act
Congress has overturned 23 federal agency rules using the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows lawmakers to void recently finalized regulations with a simple majority vote. The move blocks the agencies from issuing substantially similar rules in the future. Lawmakers backing the effort argue it reined in overreaching regulation, while opponents warn it strips away protections without replacement.
Why now: The use of the Congressional Review Act to strike down this many rules is a significant and unusual exercise of congressional power over federal regulation.
