H.J.Res. 155 is a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. It seeks to overturn a specific federal rule recently issued by the Department of Education regarding the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.
If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, this resolution would nullify the Department of Education’s rule, effectively preventing it from taking effect or remaining in force. This would revert the regulations governing federal student loans to the state they were in before the rule was issued.
This resolution does not create new student loan policy itself; it only serves to cancel an existing administrative rule. It does not provide new funding or change the underlying laws that authorize the federal student loan program.
H.J.Res. 125 is a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. It seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) titled "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act."
If passed, this resolution would nullify the HHS rule, meaning the policy would no longer be in effect. The Administrative Procedure Act governs how federal agencies develop and issue regulations.
Because the text of the HHS rule itself is not provided in the bill metadata, it is not possible to describe the specific changes the rule makes to agency procedures or how it impacts the public. This resolution is a procedural tool used by Congress to block executive branch regulations. It does not create new laws or change existing statutes outside of removing the specified HHS rule.
