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 about endangered and threatened wildlife protections that was published in April 2024. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can disapprove federal agency rules within a set timeframe, and if this resolution passes, the endangered species regulation would be nullified and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced by Representatives Newhouse, Boebert, Zinke, and Hageman and was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. The bill does not include any funding amounts or specific implementation timelines beyond the existing Congressional Review Act procedures. If approved by both chambers and signed by the president, the rule would be struck down, potentially affecting protections for endangered and threatened wildlife species.
