Summary

This joint resolution provides for congressional disapproval of the Federal Trade Commission's Negative Option Rule, which was published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 90476). The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove agency rules. If passed, the rule would be nullified and would have no force or effect, effectively preventing the FTC from enforcing the Negative Option Rule.
