Midnight Rules Relief Act
Jan. 4, 2017 | H.R. 21
This bill would allow Congress to combine into one resolution of disapproval all rules finalized by federal agencies near the end of a presidential term. The legislation would permit Congress to overturn in one fell swoop countless regulations that can take years, if not decades, to develop, stripping away vital protections from workers and the public. The bill passed the House without amendment.
This is Bad for working people.
