Sponsored by Markwayne Mullin (R)
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 "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Northern Long-Eared Bat".
Would have blocked a federal rule that moved the northern long-eared bat from threatened to endangered.
Tradeoff
Would have overturned a 2022 rule listing the northern long-eared bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The bill was vetoed, so the rule stays in effect.
