Manage episode 455823805 series 3605679
In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we explore H.R. 115, the Midnight Rules Relief Act. This legislation seeks to amend the Congressional Review Act to allow Congress to pass joint resolutions disapproving multiple agency regulations issued during the final year of a presidential term. By enabling en bloc consideration of such rules, the bill aims to streamline oversight and provide Congress with a stronger mechanism to counteract what it deems overreach in executive rulemaking.
Join Brian Barnes & our AI hosts, Avery and Iris as theydelve into the implications of this proposed legislation, discussing how it could impact the balance of power between Congress and federal agencies, the efficiency of government oversight, and the potential risks of curbing regulatory processes. Join us as we break down this contentious bill and its broader significance in the context of administrative law and separation of powers.
