About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 16, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This joint resolution seeks to reject a rule issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that was published on April 5, 2024, regarding regulations for how federal agencies cooperate in managing endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect or being enforced. The measure was introduced by Senator Sullivan and 13 other Republican senators and was referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. This type of resolution uses Congress's authority under federal law to disapprove of regulations issued by executive agencies. The resolution does not establish new law or create spending requirements, but rather functions as a veto mechanism that allows Congress to overturn a regulatory action it opposes.
