AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require Congress to pass a joint resolution approving any major Executive Order or major federal agency rule before it can take effect. If Congress does not approve it within 70 session or legislative days after receiving a report on it, the order or rule would not take effect. Nonmajor orders and rules could take effect after being reported to Congress, though Congress could vote to disapprove nonmajor rules. The President could let a major order or rule take effect for one 90-day period for emergencies, criminal law enforcement, national security, or trade agreements. The bill also directs the Government Accountability Office to study how many federal rules are in effect and their total estimated economic cost.
