A bill 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 119 s 164, also known as the Midnight Rules Relief Act, aims to amend 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 seeks to address this issue by allowing Congress to review and potentially overturn multiple midnight rules at once through en bloc consideration.

The bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details are not provided in the summary. Overall, the Midnight Rules Relief Act is intended to increase transparency and accountability in the rulemaking process, particularly during the transition between presidential administrations.
