Bill Summary

A 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 "Record of Decision for the Barred Owl Management Strategy; Washington, Oregon, and California".

AI Summary

This joint resolution aims to disapprove a rule issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service concerning the "Record of Decision for the Barred Owl Management Strategy" in Washington, Oregon, and California, effectively nullifying the rule's legal standing. The resolution specifically references a rule issued on September 6, 2024, and relies on a Government Accountability Office (GAO) letter dated May 28, 2025, which concluded that the record of decision qualifies as a rule under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). By passing this resolution, Congress would render the Fish and Wildlife Service's barred owl management strategy legally invalid and prevent its implementation. The Congressional Review Act is a legislative mechanism that allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal agency regulations within a certain timeframe after they are issued, providing a check on executive branch rulemaking power.
