About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 23, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would reject a Fish and Wildlife Service rule issued in April 2024 that governs how the federal government lists endangered and threatened species and designates areas as critical habitat for their protection. If approved, the rule would be invalidated and would have no legal effect. The resolution uses Congress's power to disapprove federal agency regulations through a fast-track legislative process. The measure would affect wildlife conservation efforts nationwide, as the disapproved rule had set procedures for identifying species at risk and protecting essential habitats they depend on. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 and carries no specific funding or implementation timeline, since it functions as a rejection of an existing rule rather than a new spending measure.
