(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The expanded summary of the House reported version is repeated here.) Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2016 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the Congressional Review Act to allow Congress to consider a joint resolution to disapprove multiple regulations that federal agencies have submitted for congressional review within the last 60 legislative days of a session of Congress during the final year of a President's term. Congress may disapprove a group of such regulations together (i.e., "en bloc") instead of the current procedure of considering only one regulation at a time.

Urge the rejection of the Dakota Access Pipeline to protect tribal sovereignty, sacred sites, and drinking water. Oppose the REVIEW Act (H.R. 3438), which should be called the Encourage Increased Baseless Lawsuits Act because it would require courts to stop every subject regulation as long as a lawsuit has been filed - or even could be filed. Urge opposition to H.R. 5982, which would amend the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow en bloc disapproval of all regulations finalized near the end of presidential terms, which would jeopardize public protections affecting public health, safety, and the environment that often are years, if not decades, in the making. Oppose efforts to undermine environmental laws and regulations through international trade negotiations in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Support the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court of the United States Support a budget free of harmful riders. Support the nomination of qualified judges to the U.S. Courts of Appeal. Oppose any balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.

Urge the rejection of the Dakota Access Pipeline to protect tribal sovereignty, sacred sites, and drinking water. Oppose the REVIEW Act (H.R. 3438), which should be called the Encourage Increased Baseless Lawsuits Act because it would require courts to stop every subject regulation as long as a lawsuit has been filed - or even could be filed. Urge opposition to H.R. 5982, which would amend the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to allow en bloc disapproval of all regulations finalized near the end of presidential terms, which would jeopardize public protections affecting public health, safety, and the environment that often are years, if not decades, in the making. Oppose efforts to undermine environmental laws and regulations through international trade negotiations in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Support the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court of the United States Support a budget free of harmful riders. Support the nomination of qualified judges to the U.S. Courts of Appeal. Oppose any balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.
