This joint resolution nullifies the final rule issued by the Department of Education titled Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance and published on April 29, 2024. The final rule addresses Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities. Among other elements, the rule establishes certain definitions related to sex-based harassment and establishes additional requirements for grievance procedures.

Bill 118 hjres 165, also known as the resolution Providing for congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the Department of Education regarding "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance," is currently under consideration in the US Congress.

The rule in question, submitted by the Department of Education, aims to address issues of discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. The rule is intended to ensure that all students, regardless of gender, have equal access to educational opportunities and are protected from discrimination.

However, some members of Congress have raised concerns about the rule, arguing that it may infringe on states' rights and impose unnecessary regulations on educational institutions. As a result, the resolution has been introduced to disapprove of the rule under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code. If the resolution is passed by Congress, it would effectively nullify the Department of Education's rule on nondiscrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. This would have significant implications for how gender-based discrimination is addressed in educational settings across the country. As the debate over Bill 118 hjres 165 continues in Congress, it is important for lawmakers and the public to carefully consider the potential impact of this resolution on the rights and protections of students, particularly those who may be vulnerable to discrimination based on their gender.
