A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Increase of the Automatic Extension Period of Employment Authorization and Documentation for Certain Employment Authorization Document Renewal Applicants".

This bill (SJRES 8) is a congressional resolution seeking to block a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule. The rule, published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2024, would have increased the automatic extension period for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for certain renewal applicants. If approved, the resolution would prevent this DHS rule from taking effect, directly affecting non-citizens in the U.S. whose work permits are pending renewal. The resolution uses a statutory process (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code) to disapprove the rule, not to create new policy.
