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; Lesser Prairie-Chicken; Threatened Status With Section 4(d) Rule for the Northern Distinct Population Segment and Endangered Status for the Southern Distinct Population Segment".

HJRES 29 is a procedural resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) rule that designated the northern lesser prairie-chicken population as "threatened" and the southern population as "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act. If passed, this resolution would prevent the FWS rule from taking effect, meaning the southern population would not be officially listed as endangered and the northern population would not be listed as threatened. The bill directly affects landowners, ranchers, and developers in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico where the prairie-chicken habitat overlaps with agricultural or energy development. It uses the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code) to block implementation of the FWS rule without changing wildlife protection laws.
