HJRES 92 United States House · 118th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Food and Nutrition Service relating to "Application of Bostock v. Clayton County to Program Discrimination Complaint Processing-Policy Update".

H.J.Res. 92 seeks congressional disapproval of a 2022 rule from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) that updated how discrimination complaints are processed in federal nutrition programs (like SNAP) following the *Bostock v. Clayton County* Supreme Court decision. The bill aims to block the rule’s implementation, which would have required agencies to handle discrimination complaints under the expanded protections established by *Bostock* (covering LGBTQ+ individuals). If passed, the resolution would make the FNS policy update ineffective, maintaining the previous complaint processing approach. This affects how federal nutrition programs address discrimination claims but does not change the underlying anti-discrimination law.
