SJRES 109 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Management and Budget relating to "Enhancing Transparency Through Use of the Investing in America Emblem on Signs".

SJRES 109 is a joint resolution seeking to block a rule from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that would have required federal agencies and contractors to display the "Investing in America Emblem" on signs for projects funded under the "Investing in America" infrastructure program. The rule, published in 2023 and later confirmed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) as subject to congressional disapproval under federal law, aimed to enhance transparency for public works projects. If enacted, this resolution would nullify the rule, preventing the emblem requirement from taking effect. The bill does not alter infrastructure funding but stops a specific transparency mandate.
