A joint resolution relating to a national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020.
SJRES 38 is a joint resolution that terminates the national emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act. This resolution ends the special authorities and regulatory flexibilities granted during the emergency, requiring federal agencies to revert to standard operating procedures. Introduced by Senators Marshall, Braun, Lee, Johnson, Cruz, and Paul, it was referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. The termination removes the legal basis for emergency-related policies that had been in effect since March 2020.
