The Senate may take up another Congressional Review Act resolution this week to roll back a Biden administration regulation.
Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), when touting his chamber’s work, said during floor remarks Monday, “I also expect to consider a resolution this week to roll back a heavy-handed Department of Energy rule.”
Thune did not specify what rule he was targeting and his office did not respond to requests for clarification. The CRA allows lawmakers to repeal newly issued rules by simple majority.
Last week the Senate sent President Donald Trump H.J. Res. 24 to undo a DOE efficiency rule for walk-in coolers and freezers. It was the third energy and environment rule killed by the new Congress, following actions against offshore drilling and methane emission mandates.
