Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Departments of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services relating to "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage".
HJRES 129 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a federal rule issued by the Departments of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The rule, published April 3, 2024, established guidelines for "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance" plans - health insurance products sold for shorter periods than standard plans, often with fewer consumer protections. This resolution would nullify that rule under the Congressional Review Act, preventing it from taking effect. The action directly affects the regulatory framework governing these short-term health insurance plans and the insurers offering them.
