Bill overview
This joint resolution aims to overturn a rule issued by the Treasury and Health and Human Services Secretaries regarding ‘State Relief and Empowerment Waivers.’ The rule, finalized in October 2018, loosened requirements for states seeking waivers from certain Affordable Care Act coverage mandates. Congress is using the Congressional Review Act to disapprove this rule, effectively nullifying its impact and returning to stricter standards for state waivers.
