House Democrats target HHS 'sunset' rule with Congressional Review Act
House Democrats are eyeing the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn a controversial Department of Health and Human Services rule passed in the final days of the Trump presidency that would require the agency to review thousands of regulations to prevent them from expiring.
Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) and Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) on Monday introduced a resolution of disapproval over the HHS "sunset" rule, which requires all 18,000 agency regulations to be reviewed every 10 years, or else they expire.
The resolution is the first step in using the CRA to unwind a regulation. The act allows Congress to nix any regulations finalized between Aug. 21, 2020, and Jan. 20, 2021.
However, time is of the essence to use the act, as it's available for only the first 60 legislative days of the new Congress. That end date is likely sometime in April.
