A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Trade Commission relating to "Negative Option Rule".

SJRES 57 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Federal Trade Commission rule on "negative option" billing practices. The rule, published in November 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 90476), would have required businesses to obtain explicit customer consent before automatically charging for subscriptions or services. If enacted, this resolution would void the rule, preventing it from taking effect. It uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to block federal regulations with a simple majority vote in both chambers.
