Senate repeals another Obama ‘moonlight’ reg

Published March 6, 2017 11:31pm ET



The Senate voted Monday to repeal another last-minute regulation President Obama imposed before leaving office in January, one that would have required companies to report labor law violations or allegations while bidding for federal contracts.

The Senate voted 49-48 to repeal the regulation, something that’s allowed under the Congressional Review Act. While the 49 votes in favor weren’t a majority of the full Senate, they were a majority of those present, and thus were enough to pass it.
