What the measure doesCRS summary

This joint resolution nullifies the interim final rule submitted by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security and published on March 29, 2022, concerning procedures for the consideration of asylum claims and other related issues. (Among other changes, the interim final rule requires an asylum seeker subject to expedited removal to be screened by an asylum officer for a credible fear of persecution or torture, rather than a credible fear of persecution, reasonable possibility of persecution, or reasonable possibility of torture.)

Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing S.J.Res. 46 as introduced in Senate on Apr 28, 2022. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
