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 disapproves a rule from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would have designated the northern population of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken as "threatened" and the southern population as "endangered," meaning they would receive different levels of protection under the Endangered Species Act. The resolution, passed by Congress, uses a process called "congressional disapproval" under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code, which allows Congress to overturn certain regulations issued by federal agencies. By disapproving the rule, Congress is preventing these protections for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken from taking effect, effectively keeping the status quo for the bird's conservation.
