Final Regulations

The Board of Directors (Board) drafts and adopts regulations to implement statutory requirements under the various laws that make up the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA). As part of the drafting process, the Board and Executive Staff of the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (formerly Office of Compliance) engage in a collaborative process with legislative branch stakeholders to develop the regulations. The Board adopts the final regulations, and Congress must approve them. In most cases, the U.S. Department of Labor regulations will serve as the default regulations until Congressional approval of the Board adopted regulations. The regulations below have been adopted by the Board and have been approved and issued by Congress. These final regulations have the force of law.
