Sen. Orrin Hatch may press for a congressional vote on the Obama administration's proposal to give states more flexibility in implementing the welfare reform law's work requirements.

Reports Roll Call:

Hatch's comments come after the Government Accountability Office said the Department of Health and Human Services' announcement that states could seek waivers from certain compliance requirements under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was subject to the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to keep agency rules from taking effect. Such a resolution cannot be filibustered and needs only a simple majority in the Senate to pass if acted on during a 60-day window.
