The Midnight Rules Relief Act aims to streamline the process for Congress to overturn multiple federal regulations issued in the final year of a president's term, known as "midnight rules." This bill would allow for a single joint resolution of disapproval to address multiple such rules. While the intent may be to provide greater oversight and responsiveness, there are valid concerns about the potential negative impacts. Hastily revoking numerous regulations could undermine important protections for public health, worker safety, consumer rights, and the environment. It could also create regulatory uncertainty, burdening businesses that have already invested resources to comply. I urge you to carefully weigh the consequences of expedited deregulation and prioritize upholding crucial safeguards for the American people and responsible governance. A more measured, case-by-case review would better serve the long-term interests of our nation. I implore you to reject this overly broad legislation that could imperil vital rules.
