This joint resolution seeks to exercise congressional authority to nullify a rule proposed by the Department of Education concerning the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program . Utilizing the process outlined in chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, Congress aims to prevent this specific regulation from being implemented. The resolution explicitly states that the rule, published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2025, will have no force or effect if this measure is adopted. This action represents a legislative check on executive branch rulemaking, specifically targeting federal student loan policies. Its passage would effectively block the Department of Education from enacting the provisions of the disapproved rule related to federal direct loans.
