About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 15, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Fish and Wildlife Service rule on endangered and threatened wildlife regulations that was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2024. The measure uses the Congressional Review Act, a law that allows Congress to disapprove and nullify federal agency rules within a set timeframe. If passed, the resolution would eliminate the Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by a group of Republican senators and affects anyone involved in activities regulated under the Endangered Species Act, including landowners, developers, conservation groups, and federal agencies. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution text, as it simply seeks to block the rule's implementation.
