Summary
**What it does:** This joint resolution attempted to overturn a Department of Veterans Affairs rule about reproductive health services using the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove federal agency regulations. **Who it affects:** - Veterans who receive healthcare through the VA system - VA healthcare providers and facilities - Congressional oversight of federal agencies **What would change:** If this resolution had passed, it would have canceled the VA's reproductive health services rule and prevented the agency from issuing a substantially similar rule in the future. Since it failed, the original VA rule remains in effect. **Current status:** The resolution failed, meaning Congress did not overturn the VA rule. The Department of Veterans Affairs' reproductive health services regulation continues to be implemented as originally written.
