This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional authority under the Congressional Review Act to reject a specific rule recently issued by the Department of Education. The targeted rule is titled "Reimagining and Improving Student Education-Federal Student Loan Program Final Regulations," which was published on May 1, 2026. The resolution explicitly states that Congress disapproves of this rule, thereby preventing it from having any legal force or effect. By passing this measure, Congress would effectively nullify the Department's new regulations pertaining to federal student loan programs. This action represents a legislative challenge to executive branch rulemaking, designed to block the implementation of these particular changes to student loan policies.
