Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration relating to the "Federal Acquisition Regulation: Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects".
HJRES 132 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a specific federal rule. It seeks to block a rule issued by the Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA that would have required federal construction projects to use Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) - pre-hire agreements between contractors and labor unions. If passed, this resolution would nullify the rule (88 Fed. Reg. 88708, Dec. 22, 2023), preventing it from taking effect. The bill directly affects federal construction projects covered by the Federal Acquisition Regulation, as it would remove a requirement for contractors to negotiate PLAs with unions. This is a procedural measure focused on reversing an agency rule, not creating new policy.
