Plain Language Summary

# Summary of SJRES 103 **What the Bill Would Do:** This joint resolution would block a Department of Veterans Affairs rule about reproductive health services if passed. It uses a special congressional process called the "Congressional Review Act" that allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules. If approved by both chambers and signed by the President, it would prevent the VA's reproductive health services rule from taking effect. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect veterans and their families who use VA healthcare services, as well as the VA itself.

The specific details of what reproductive health services the rule covers are not detailed in this summary, but the resolution targets policies established by the Department of Veterans Affairs. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. Sponsor Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced it during the 119th Congress. For the resolution to become law, it would need to pass both the House and Senate and receive the President's signature.
