A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the Department of Labor relating to "Rescission of Implementing Legal Requirements Regarding the Equal Opportunity Clause's Religious Exemption Rule".

This joint resolution (SJRES 27) seeks to block a specific rule issued by the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). The rule in question would have removed religious exemptions from the Equal Opportunity Clause in federal contracts, which currently allows certain contractors to cite religious objections to hiring practices. By requesting congressional disapproval under federal law, this resolution aims to prevent the rule from taking effect, thereby preserving the existing religious exemption for federal contractors. The measure directly affects federal contractors who rely on this exemption in their hiring decisions.
