___ Act of 2025

HR 6971, the "___ Act of 2025," significantly changes how federal regulations and Executive Orders (EOs) are implemented by requiring congressional approval for major actions. Before any major federal agency rule or EO can take effect, the President or agency must submit detailed information, including data and cost-benefit analyses, to Congress and the Comptroller General. Major rules and EOs will then require a joint resolution of approval from both the House and Senate within 70 legislative days; if not approved, they cannot take effect. Non-major rules, however, will take effect unless Congress passes a resolution of disapproval. This bill directly affects the President, federal agencies, and ultimately, all individuals and entities impacted by federal regulations by creating a new layer of congressional oversight and approval.
