About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 31, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would reject a Fish and Wildlife Service rule that lists the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard as an endangered species. If approved, the rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a procedure that allows Congress to overturn federal agency regulations within a limited timeframe. The bill would primarily affect oil and gas operations and land development in the southwestern United States, where the lizard is found, as the endangered species designation would have required protections for its habitat. The resolution was introduced in May 2024 and was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
