About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 16, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would reject a Fish and Wildlife Service rule that would establish a small population of grizzly bears in Washington State's North Cascades Ecosystem as part of the endangered species recovery program. If approved, the resolution would completely overturn the federal rule that was published on May 3, 2024, and prevent the experimental grizzly bear population from being established. The rule affects grizzly bear reintroduction efforts in the Pacific Northwest and has implications for wildlife management and endangered species policy in Washington State. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a procedure that allows Congress to disapprove federal regulations within a specific timeframe. The measure was introduced by Representative Dan Newhouse and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources for consideration.
