S. 34 · 115th Congress
Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2017
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2017
This bill amends the Congressional Review Act to allow Congress to consider a joint resolution to nullify multiple regulations that federal agencies issued and submitted for congressional review within the last 60 legislative days of a session of Congress during the final year of a President's term. Congress may nullify a group of such regulations together (i.e., "en bloc") instead of the current procedure of considering only one regulation at a time.
