Committee and related-measure relationships have no date in their relationship records and therefore are counted above but never placed on the chronology.

CRS summary

Introduced in House Jan 3, 2025

Midnight Rules Relief ActThis bill allows Congress to disapprove multiple regulations under one joint resolution of disapproval if the regulations were submitted for review during a portion of the final year of a President's term. Under current law, the Congressional Review Act generally provides for a period of additional review during the succeeding Congress for regulations that were submitted during the last 60 legislative days of the prior Congress. However, each joint resolution may disapprove of only one regulation.
