Blocks VA rule on reproductive health services for veterans.
Rep. Brownley (D-CA) and 14 cosponsors.
In committee, no House vote yet
This joint resolution seeks to stop a specific rule issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning reproductive health services from taking effect. If passed, the VA's rule, published on December 31, 2025, would be nullified. Representative Julia Brownley, a Democrat from California, introduced this bill, and it has been referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs for consideration.
Introduced Jan 27, 2026
This joint resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives on January 27, 2026, and sent to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. For it to become law, it must pass both the House and the Senate, and then be signed by the President or survive a veto.
If this resolution passes, the Department of Veterans Affairs rule (90 Fed. Reg. 61310) concerning "Reproductive Health Services" would be prevented from going into effect. This means any new policies or changes proposed by that specific VA rule regarding reproductive healthcare for veterans would not be implemented. Instead, VA reproductive health services would continue under existing policies.

Those who support this resolution likely believe that the Department of Veterans Affairs overstepped its authority or made an inappropriate decision regarding reproductive health services. Conversely, those who oppose the resolution would likely argue that the VA's rule is a necessary or beneficial update to veterans' healthcare and should be allowed to proceed.
