Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act".
This bill, HJR125, aims to allow Congress to disapprove a specific rule related to the Administrative Procedure Act that was submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services. This rule is about how the department should follow the text of the Administrative Procedure Act. The bill has been introduced and is currently with the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review.
If passed, the bill would affect lawmakers and the Department of Health and Human Services by providing a mechanism to challenge and potentially reject the rule. This could impact how federal agencies create and enforce regulations, ensuring they follow the law properly.
As of now, the bill was introduced on September 18, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The committee will likely hold hearings and decide whether to move the bill forward for a vote.
