Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a new rule from the Health and Human Services Department that changes how the agency follows federal administrative procedures when creating regulations. If approved, this would reject the department's policy and prevent it from taking effect, potentially affecting how HHS makes decisions on healthcare and other programs it oversees. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.
