League Opposes Use of Congressional Review Act to Repeal Public Protections

The League joined a letter to Capitol Hill urging Congress to table Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions of disapproval, which would harm American workers, consumers, and families. CRA resolutions do more than just strike down vital safeguards; they also block agencies from ever again issuing “substantially similar” regulations without express authorization from Congress. As a result, Americans could lose dozens of critical health, safety, pocketbook and environmental protections.
