Latest Action · July 23, 2025
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
H.J. Res. 111 is a Congressional Review Act resolution that would reject a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule establishing a "Barred Owl Management Strategy" that was issued in September 2024. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule and prevent it from taking effect. The rule addresses management strategies for barred owls, which are believed to prey on the threatened northern spotted owl. The resolution was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can use this fast-track process to disapprove federal agency rules within a specified timeframe, and if both chambers pass the resolution and the President signs it (or Congress overrides a veto), the rule is effectively canceled.
