## Abstract

On October 27, 2023, the Board published a final rule (2023 Rule) that rescinded and replaced a prior rule regarding the standard for determining joint employer status under the National Labor Relations Act. On March 8, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order vacating the 2023 Rule. The Board is therefore revising its rules and regulations to replace the vacated regulatory text with the previous version of its rules that remain in effect due to the vacatur.
