Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
This joint resolution seeks to nullify a rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) titled "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Marketplace Integrity and Affordability," which was published in the Federal Register on June 25, 2025. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn federal agency regulations through a resolution of disapproval. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President (or if a presidential veto is overridden), this CMS rule would be eliminated and would have no legal effect.
