This joint resolution proposes the congressional disapproval of a specific rule submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regarding "Reproductive Health Services." The resolution explicitly states that if passed, this VA rule, published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2025, would be nullified and possess no legal authority. Utilizing the authority granted by chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, this measure aims to prevent the VA's rule from taking effect. Its passage would effectively block the implementation of the VA's policy on reproductive health services, thereby maintaining the status quo prior to the rule's issuance.
