In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we break down H.R. 77, the Midnight Rules Relief Act. This bill seeks to amend the Congressional Review Act by allowing Congress to overturn multiple federal regulations issued in the final year of a president’s term through a single resolution of disapproval. Proponents argue that this measure enhances congressional oversight by preventing last-minute executive rulemaking from bypassing legislative scrutiny. Critics, however, warn that it could lead to sweeping rollbacks of vital regulations without individual review.
Join Brian Barnes along with our AI hosts Avery and Iris as they analyze the potential consequences of this bill, discussing how it impacts the balance of power between the executive branch and Congress. Does H.R. 77 ensure accountability, or does it risk legislative overreach? Tune in for a deep dive into the mechanics of midnight rulemaking and how this proposed law could reshape regulatory oversight.
