A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Designated Placement Requirements for LGBTQI plus Children.

This joint resolution (SJRES 101) disapproves a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on April 30, 2024, which proposed "Designated Placement Requirements for LGBTQI plus Children." The resolution states that this rule, published in the Federal Register (89 Fed. Reg. 34818 et seq.), shall have no force or effect. It directly affects placement policies for LGBTQI+ children in foster care or similar systems by nullifying the proposed HHS requirements. The bill is a procedural disapproval resolution, not a new law, and does not create new policy but rejects an existing regulatory rule.
