A Republican-backed bill to block a burst of last-minute "midnight regulations" from the Obama administration advanced in the House on Tuesday.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee passed the Midnight Rule Relief Act that Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) introduced last week with Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
The bill establishes a post-election moratorium on new regulations that cost the economy $100 million or more annually. Any rules necessary for imminent health or safety threats would be exempt.
