Bill Summary

Joint Resolution 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’’.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of a rule proposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service concerning the Lesser Prairie-Chicken, a bird species. The rule, published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2022, would have designated the Northern Distinct Population Segment (a geographically distinct group) of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken as "Threatened" with a Section 4(d) Rule, which allows for specific regulations to be put in place to protect it, and the Southern Distinct Population Segment as "Endangered," meaning it faces a very high risk of extinction. By passing this resolution under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code, Congress is effectively blocking this rule, preventing it from having any legal effect. This action is a way for Congress to overturn regulations issued by federal agencies.
