Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 115) to amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide for en bloc consideration in resolutions of disapproval for "midnight rules'', and for other purposes.

Bill 118 HRES 1616, also known as the Midnight Rules Relief Act, is a piece of legislation that focuses on amending chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code. The main purpose of this bill is to allow 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. The Midnight Rules Relief Act aims to provide Congress with a more efficient way to review and potentially overturn these regulations.

The bill outlines a process for Congress to consider and vote on resolutions of disapproval for multiple midnight rules at once, rather than having to address each rule individually. This en bloc consideration is intended to streamline the review process and ensure that Congress has the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate and potentially repeal any problematic regulations. In addition to addressing midnight rules, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the regulatory process. Overall, the Midnight Rules Relief Act seeks to enhance congressional oversight of federal regulations and promote transparency and accountability in the rulemaking process.
