This joint resolution proposes to disapprove a specific rule submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning "Reproductive Health Services." The resolution invokes Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, which is the Congressional Review Act (CRA), to achieve this disapproval. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, or if Congress overrides a presidential veto, the VA's rule, published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2025, would be rendered without force or effect . This action would effectively prevent the VA from implementing or enforcing its specified regulations regarding reproductive health services.
