Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relating to "Requirement for Persons To Wear Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs".
Summary
House Joint Resolution 72 is a proposal to formally overturn the federal rule that required individuals to wear face masks while using public transportation and at transit hubs, such as airports and bus stations. If passed, the resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to nullify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mandate issued in early 2021. For citizens, this would mean that federal law could no longer mandate mask-wearing on airplanes, trains, or public buses based on that specific agency rule.
