Assessments
Rogers personally voted for H.J.Res.38, a Congressional Review Act resolution disapproving the Interior Department's Stream Protection Rule, and that resolution became Public Law 115-5 on February 16, 2017 while he was serving in the House. Because the promise was broad support for cutting unnecessary or job-killing regulations, an enacted deregulatory measure with his affirmative vote is enough for delivery. Other cited House-passed bills that failed reinforce effort but are not needed for the outcome.
