Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Policy on Adhering to the Text of the Administrative Procedure Act".

H.J.Res. 125 is a binding joint resolution that would use Congress's disapproval authority under federal law to reject a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services. The rule in question concerns how HHS will adhere to the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs how federal agencies develop and implement regulations.

If enacted, this resolution would invalidate the HHS rule. This type of joint resolution has the force of law and would require presidential signature. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and is currently in committee consideration. The practical effect would be to prevent HHS from implementing the specific policy on Administrative Procedure Act compliance that the rule establishes, potentially affecting how the department develops future regulations and policies.
