About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · October 18, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would reject a Fish and Wildlife Service rule that sets hunting seasons for migratory game birds during 2024-25. The rule, published in August 2024, would be nullified and have no legal effect if Congress approves this disapproval measure. This legislation would affect hunters, wildlife managers, and conservation organizations that rely on federal guidance for migratory bird hunting regulations. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a legislative tool that allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules within a specified timeframe. No specific funding is mentioned, as this measure simply seeks to invalidate an existing regulatory action rather than appropriate money or establish new programs.
