Congressman Andy Biggs has reintroduced the Midnight Rules Relief Act. This legislation allows Congress to rein in unelected bureaucrats. Biden’s bureaucrats imposed more than $1.34 trillion in regulations in 2024 alone. The tools provided under this Act allow Congress to swiftly address the rules issued unilaterally by this Administration.
In December, the Midnight Rules Relief Act passed out of the House by a vote of 210-201. This paves the way for House Leadership to send the bill directly to the Floor for a vote by the new Congress instead of requiring further committee consideration.
“In one week, President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. The voters delivered a mandate in November, and Congress must equip President Trump with the tools he needs to enact the will of the American people.
“The Midnight Rules Relief Act will allow Congress to clear the deck of America Last rules and regulations imposed by the Biden-Harris regime and will prevent our economy from taking a $1.34 trillion hit.
“I urge House Leadership to quickly bring my bill to the Floor for a vote. We must advance this legislation through Congress so it’s ready to be signed into law soon after President Trump is inaugurated.”
