U.S. Senator Paul Seeks to Overturn Recent Obama-Era EB-5 Regulations

According to multiple media sources and independently confirmed, last week U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) circulated a “Dear Colleague” letter seeking co-sponsors to a process called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to negate the recently proposed Obama-era EB-5 regulations.

The CRA provides Congress with a 60-day window to seek sufficient support – here, 30 senators – on a Resolution of Disapproval requiring simple majority passage in both bodies, and a presidential signature to negate the regulations.
