On a party-line vote, the House Education and Workforce Committee passed a resolution of disapproval designed to block what Republicans call an unprecedented redefinition of a decades-old civil rights law.
The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows Congress to overturn a federal rule within 60 days.
The Title IX resolution was one of nine bills considered during Thursday's markup session to review bills and send them to the full House for a vote-but easily the most contentious.
"Together, these nine bills express the commitment of the Committee to enhancing the safety, security, and rights of students, parents, and workers across our nation," North Carolina representative Virginia Foxx, the Republican chair of the committee, said in her opening remarks.
