Introduced
Summary
Congressional approval for major executive orders and agency rules. This bill would create a statutory system that makes major EOs and major agency rules effective only after a narrow congressional joint resolution, while adding public disclosure, GAO review, and firm timing rules.
Show full summary
- Families and households: Households would face slower regulatory changes that affect prices or safety because major rules would need congressional approval and the bill defines "major" as rules likely to have at least $100 million in annual economic impact.
- Workers and businesses: Businesses and workers would see rules that affect employment, competition, or costs undergo extra review and receive a GAO assessment within 15 days.
- Federal agencies and the President: Agencies must publish the data, studies, and cost‑benefit analyses behind a rule before it can take effect. Major executive orders and major rules would only take effect after passage of a nonamendable joint resolution or during a single 90‑calendar‑day provisional emergency window when the President certifies a qualifying emergency.
- Congress and oversight: Congress would get expedited procedures to approve or disapprove actions, including automatic committee discharge if committees do not act in 15 days and a 60‑session‑day window to introduce disapproval for nonmajor rules.
- Courts and legal process: Judicial review of procedural determinations under the new chapter would generally be barred, limiting courts to narrow questions about whether an agency met the required steps for a rule to take effect.
