Bill H.Res. 122, also known as the Midnight Rules Relief Act, is a piece of legislation that aims to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code. The main purpose of this bill is to provide for en bloc consideration in resolutions of disapproval for "midnight rules."
Midnight rules refer to regulations that are issued by federal agencies during the final months of a presidential administration. These rules are often rushed through without proper scrutiny or public input, leading to potential negative impacts on businesses and individuals.
The Midnight Rules Relief Act seeks to address this issue by allowing Congress to consider and potentially overturn multiple midnight rules at once through en bloc resolutions of disapproval. This would streamline the process and make it easier for Congress to review and reject these last-minute regulations.
Overall, the bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the regulatory process, ensuring that midnight rules are subject to proper oversight and scrutiny. It is an important piece of legislation that seeks to protect the interests of the American people and ensure that regulations are fair and reasonable.
