S.J.Res. 69 Procedural vote, hasn't passed

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".

Would block a Fish and Wildlife Service rule on barred owl management in three western states.

Tradeoff

Disapproves a federal rule allowing barred owl culling to protect spotted owls. If passed, would nullify the strategy without requiring the agency to propose an alternative.
