S. 164 — Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2025
Transparency & Ethics
What it does
This bill amends the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow Congress to disapprove multiple 'midnight rules'—regulations issued during a President's final year in office—in a single joint resolution, rather than requiring separate votes on each rule. Currently, each rule requires its own disapproval resolution; this change bundles them together for efficiency.
