Congress Issues Joint Resolution to Block Government Contractor Fair Pay and Safe Workspaces Rules | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

Last Monday, Rep. Virginia Foxx introduced a joint resolution of disapproval of the recently implemented (and more recently temporarily suspended by a Federal judge) of the so-called Fair Pay and Safe Workspaces rules. This joint resolution is provided by the Congressional Review Act (CRA). The CRA allows Congress a limited period of time in which to overrule a regulation through use of a joint resolution, essentially giving Congress a legislative veto. The resolution needs to be passed by both houses and then signed by the President or passed over the President’s veto by two-thirds of the House and Senate.
