The Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025 proposes amendments to chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, with the primary goal of providing Congress with additional time to disapprove federal agency rules . This legislation aims to reform the existing Congressional Review Act (CRA) framework, which governs how Congress reviews and potentially overturns executive branch regulations. By extending the review period, the bill seeks to enhance congressional oversight of agency rulemaking. Specifically, the bill makes structural changes to sections 801 and 802 of the CRA. It redefines the term "joint resolution" in section 802(a) to specify the exact wording required for a resolution of disapproval, which must be introduced after a rule's report is received by Congress. The bill also strikes certain subsections and redesignates others within both sections, intending to streamline or alter the procedural timeline for congressional review.
