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; Endangered Species Status for the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard".

H.J. Res. 162 seeks to disapprove a rule by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would have listed the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. The rule, published on May 20, 2024, would have required federal protections and land use restrictions in New Mexico and Texas to conserve the lizard's habitat. If enacted, this resolution would prevent the rule from taking effect, avoiding new regulatory requirements for landowners and developers in the dunes sagebrush ecosystem. The bill directly affects activities in the lizard's habitat by removing potential federal conservation mandates.
