A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the Department of the Treasury relating to the review of applications under the Bank Merger Act.

This bill is a joint resolution that uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a rule issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regarding how bank merger applications are reviewed under the Bank Merger Act. If enacted, Congress’s disapproval would render the rule without force or effect, meaning the OCC would not be able to implement or rely on that specific regulatory framework for reviewing merger applications. The resolution targets the OCC rule published September 25, 2024 (Federal Register 89 Federal Register 78207).
