Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title...
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to the Adverse Effect Wage Rate.
This bill, HJR154, proposes to allow Congress to disapprove a rule from the Department of Labor concerning the Adverse Effect Wage Rate. The rule aims to define and address wage disparities that negatively affect certain workers. If the bill passes, Congress can vote to reject this rule, which would prevent it from taking effect.
The rule would primarily affect workers, labor unions, and employers by potentially changing how wage rates are determined and assessed in cases of wage discrimination. This could lead to changes in how disputes over wage rates are handled in the workplace.
As of March 26, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. There have been no additional actions or hearings scheduled at this time.
