Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025

# Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Congressional Review Reform Act of 2025 (HR 4112) would modify the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a law that allows Congress to overturn federal agency regulations. Under current rules, Congress has 60 legislative days to disapprove a new regulation before it takes effect. This bill would change those procedures, though the specific details of the proposed changes are not publicly detailed in the available information. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect federal agencies (like the Environmental Protection Agency or Labor Department) and businesses that operate under their regulations.

It could also impact the general public, since agency regulations often govern areas like workplace safety, environmental protection, and consumer health. Additionally, it would change how Congress exercises its oversight power over executive branch agencies. **Current Status** As of now, HR 4112 is in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate House committee for review and discussion but has not yet been brought to a full House vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Derek Schmidt (R-Kansas) in the 119th Congress.
