This joint resolution would block a Department of Homeland Security rule that would have increased the automatic extension period for certain work permit renewal applicants. If approved, the rule would be treated as though it never took effect, meaning the longer automatic extension would not be allowed under this resolution.
- It is a “disapproval” resolution, which means Congress is rejecting a federal rule made by the Department of Homeland Security.
- The rule being rejected would have changed how long some people could keep working while their employment authorization renewal was still being processed.
- The resolution says the rule would have “no force or effect” if Congress passes it.
