Bill Summary

AI Summary
This joint resolution is a congressional action to reject a specific rule issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the endangered species status of the Longfin Smelt in the San Francisco Bay-Delta region. The resolution, which was passed by the House of Representatives on May 1, 2025, uses the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code) to nullify the agency's rule that would have listed this distinct population segment of the Longfin Smelt as endangered. By passing this resolution, Congress is effectively preventing the rule from taking legal effect, which means the Longfin Smelt would not receive the protections and regulatory considerations that would have been associated with an endangered species designation. The resolution specifically references the rule published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2024, and declares that the rule shall have no force or effect, thereby maintaining the current status of the Longfin Smelt population.
