01 · The brief
CRA DisapprovalWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to try to overturn a recent federal agency rule. If both chambers pass the joint resolution and the President signs it (or Congress overrides a veto), the targeted rule is nullified and cannot take effect. The CRA also stops the agency from issuing a new rule that is substantially the same without new legislation. The resolution specifically targets the NCUA rule on automated valuation model quality control standards.

Rule targeted

The rule titled "Quality Control Standards for Automated Valuation Models" (89 Fed. Reg. 64538, Aug. 7, 2024).

Issuing agency

National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)

Passage rules

Under the CRA, the Senate considers disapproval resolutions under expedited procedures that prevent a filibuster and require only a simple majority to pass; if both chambers approve, the joint resolution is sent to the President for signature or veto. This is a congressional disapproval action aimed specifically at a recently submitted agency rule.

This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove and nullify a National Credit Union Administration rule titled "Quality Control Standards for Automated Valuation Models" (89 Fed.

Reg. 64538, Aug. 7, 2024).

If enacted, the resolution would render that NCUA rule without force or effect.

Passage35/100

Very narrow, low fiscal impact increases chances; procedural and partisan dynamics in the Senate and stakeholder opposition reduce odds.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused Congressional Review Act-style disapproval resolution that names and nullifies a single NCUA rule. The text is concise and accomplishes the essential legal act of disapproval by citation and declaration.
