The Midnight Rules Relief Act aims to amend the United States Code to allow for en bloc consideration of resolutions disapproving 'midnight rules' issued in the final year of a President's term. The bill focuses on procedural changes to how Congress can disapprove multiple rules simultaneously, without introducing new spending or direct financial implications.
