WASHINGTON – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Midnight Rules Relief Act. 

“On his way out the door, Joe Biden saddled our small businesses with last-minute regulations,” Chairwoman McClain said. “Congressman Andy Biggs’ legislation will allow Congress to reverse these actions quickly while making the federal bureaucracy more efficient and America more competitive in the long-run. House Republicans are yet again working to restore efficiency and common-sense in our government.”  

The Midnight Rules Relief Act would allow amend the Congressional Review Act to allow the overturning of multiple regulations issued within the final months of a presidential administration with a single vote, instead of addressing them one by one.
