BIOSAFE Act of 2024
HR 8632, the BIOSAFE Act of 2024, directs the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw a specific proposed rule titled "National Wildlife Refuge System; Biological Integrity, Diversity, and Environmental Health" (published February 2, 2024, in 89 Fed. Reg. 7345). This rule would have established new standards for managing biodiversity and environmental health within National Wildlife Refuges. The bill directly affects the management of these refuges by halting the implementation of the proposed rule. It is a procedural measure that reverses an existing regulatory proposal without creating new policy.
