Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Justice relating to "Office of the Attorney General; Home Confinement Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act".

HJRES 97 is a resolution seeking to block a specific rule issued by the Department of Justice. It targets a rule published in April 2023 that changed how home confinement is applied for federal prisoners under the CARES Act. The resolution would stop this rule from taking effect by invoking Congress's authority to disapprove federal agency rules under a standard process. This directly affects federal prisoners who might otherwise be eligible for home confinement under the CARES Act provisions.
