H. J. Res. 45

Explanation:

This joint resolution is a document created by the United States Congress. It is the 45th resolution of the current Congress.

The purpose of this resolution is to disapprove a rule proposed by the Department of Education regarding the "Waivers and Modifications of Federal Student Loans". The Congress believes that this rule is not in the best interest of the American people.

The resolution states that Congress disapproves of the rule, which includes a website announcement titled "One-Time Federal Student Loan Debt Relief" and a document published in the Federal Register called "Federal Student Aid Programs". These were both printed in the Congressional Record on March 22, 2023.

Additionally, the resolution includes a letter of opinion from the Government Accountability Office dated March 17, 2023, which states that the "Waivers and Modifications" are a rule that can be reviewed under the Congressional Review Act. This means that Congress has the power to invalidate the rule.

As a result, if this resolution is passed, the rule proposed by the Department of Education will have no legal effect.

Signatories:

The resolution was approved and signed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is the leader of the House, and by the Vice President of the United States, who is also the President of the Senate.

Rep. Charles Edwards
