Congressman Andy Biggs has reintroduced the Midnight Rules Relief Act, aiming to enable Congress to control regulations set by unelected officials. According to Congressman Biggs, the Biden administration imposed over $1.34 trillion in regulations during 2024. The proposed legislation seeks to provide Congress with tools to swiftly address rules issued by the current administration.

In December, the House passed the Midnight Rules Relief Act with a vote of 210-201. This outcome allows House Leadership to bring the bill directly to the Floor for a vote by the new Congress without further committee deliberation.

“In one week, President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States," said Congressman Biggs. "The voters delivered a mandate in November, and Congress must equip President Trump with the tools he needs to enact the will of the American people."

He further stated, “The Midnight Rules Relief Act will allow Congress to clear the deck of America Last rules and regulations imposed by the Biden-Harris regime and will prevent our economy from taking a $1.34 trillion hit."

Biggs urged House Leadership to expedite bringing his bill to a vote on the Floor. "We must advance this legislation through Congress so it’s ready to be signed into law soon after President Trump is inaugurated.”

The text of the legislation is available for reading online.
