A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage".
This bill (SJRES 76) seeks congressional disapproval of a Department of Labor rule published on April 3, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 23338), which established regulations for "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage." If passed, the resolution would block this rule from taking effect, preventing it from governing temporary health insurance plans that don't meet Affordable Care Act standards. The rule directly affects insurers offering these short-term plans and consumers who purchase them, as it would have set new requirements for such coverage. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to halt the rule without changing existing law.
