About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 19, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This joint resolution seeks to block a National Park Service rule that allows hunting and trapping in Alaska's national preserves. The rule, published in the Federal Register on July 3, 2024, would have permitted these activities in designated preserve areas. Senators Sullivan and Murkowski introduced this measure to overturn the regulation using the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove federal agency rules. If passed, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution does not require any funding and operates under an expedited congressional process designed for regulatory disapprovals.
