This House Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) should reverse a recent decision impacting public participation in regulatory processes. It emphasizes that public involvement is crucial for formulating fair and sound policy, and that open rulemaking helps prevent arbitrary or ill-advised regulations. Specifically, the resolution calls for the withdrawal of a notice published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2025, which would significantly reduce opportunities for public notice and comment. The House urges HHS to instead affirm its practices as they existed on February 27, 2025, thereby ensuring continued public input from beneficiaries, governments, and providers in all proposed regulatory changes.
