Legislation· May 2023Sponsored by Cynthia M. Lummis (R)
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Marine Fisheries Service relating to "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Regulations for Listing Endangered and Threatened Species and Designating Critical Habitat".
Would have overturned a 2022 rule that removed limits on where wildlife agencies could designate critical habitat.
Tradeoff
Would have blocked the 2022 rule that removed limits on designating critical habitat for endangered species. Areas named as critical habitat would have stayed subject to certain legal restrictions.
