About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 23, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a regulation issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in April 2024 that established rules for how federal agencies must cooperate on matters involving endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. The disapproval is being pursued under the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows Congress to cancel federal agency rules by passing a joint resolution. If passed, the regulation would be nullified and would have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Duarte and Newhouse and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. The bill targets a specific regulation published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2024, but does not outline alternative requirements for interagency cooperation on endangered species protection.
