To amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to require congressional approval of certain actions, and for other purposes.

HR 9357 would require Congress to approve certain actions under the Endangered Species Act before they take effect. Specifically, it would mandate that any species listing, removal from a list, or change in status must be approved by a joint resolution of Congress before becoming effective. This change would directly affect the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service, which currently manage these listings. The bill shifts the authority to finalize these actions from federal agencies to Congress, requiring explicit legislative approval for each species decision.
