This joint resolution would disapprove a rule the Federal Trade Commission submitted called the "Negative Option Rule" (89 Fed. Reg. 90476, November 15, 2024). The text says Congress disapproves that FTC rule and that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The resolution was introduced in the Senate on June 9, 2025, by Senator Mike Lee and was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The measure is listed as in progress.
