Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service relating to "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Establishment of a Nonessential Experimental Population of Grizzly Bear in the North Cascades Ecosystem, Washington State".

HJRES 149 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a rule by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that would establish a nonessential experimental population of grizzly bears in Washington State's North Cascades Ecosystem. The resolution aims to block the FWS rule (published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2024) from taking effect, which would have allowed grizzly bears to be managed differently than endangered species in that area. If passed, this resolution would prevent the FWS rule from having legal force, directly affecting how the agency implements grizzly bear conservation in the North Cascades. This is a procedural measure targeting a specific regulatory action, not a new policy.
