HJRES 159 United States House · 118th Congress

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; Regulations Pertaining to Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants".

HJRES 159 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that would have updated regulations for protecting endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. If enacted, it would block the rule from taking effect, meaning current regulations would remain in place without the proposed changes. The rule in question was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 23919).
