Washington – A letter signed by 125 organizations urges lawmakers to oppose using the Congressional Review Act to pull back regulations focused on worker safety and other issues.
The CRA allows members of Congress to nix multiple regulations in a short amount of time. Congress used the tool during the first few weeks of President Donald Trump’s administration to undo federal contractor disclosure requirements, and other regulations could face the same fate.
The groups include the AFL-CIO, the Center for Progressive Reform, the National Council of La Raza and Public Citizen.
