Major executive orders could not take effect unless Congress passed a narrow joint resolution, though a President may allow a major action to take temporary effect for up to 90 days in emergencies. - Major agency rules would trigger a detailed cost–benefit package including effects on public and private jobs and must be reviewed by the Comptroller General within 15 calendar days.

Nonmajor rules could be disapproved by joint resolution within 60 days and face a 10-hour Senate debate limit on such challenges. ## Provisions PRIA read - GAO review and report on major rules: benefit, medium.
