Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Defense relating to "Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Architect and Engineering Service Fees (DFARS Case 2024-D019)".

HJRES 196 is a procedural resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a specific Defense Department rule. It targets the "Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Architect and Engineering Service Fees" (DFARS Case 2024-D019), which established fee structures for architects and engineers working on defense contracts. If passed, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect, preventing the Department of Defense from implementing these fee requirements. The resolution directly affects defense contractors and firms providing architectural/engineering services to the military, as it would maintain existing fee rules instead of adopting the new ones.
