Next year will mark the first time in over a decade that Republicans will control both chambers of Congress and the White House. This has generated tremendous interest around the Congressional Review Act (CRA)—a rarely used but powerful tool available to Congress to “fast track” resolutions rejecting recent regulations. To date, the CRA has only been successfully used once to rescind a regulation. That occurred in January 2001, when the new Republican Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed a joint resolution disapproving the ergonomics rule issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. That rule was finalized on Nov. 14, 2000, under then-President Bill Clinton.
