S.J.Res. 204 — A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval…
What it does
This resolution disapproves a federal rule that would have narrowed the definition of 'harm' under the Endangered Species Act, effectively blocking the rule and preserving the broader protections that currently exist. Congress is using its power to reject a regulatory change that would have weakened protections for endangered and threatened species.
Quorum's transparency scan found no buried provisions in 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 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration relating to "Rescinding the Definition of 'Harm' Under the Endangered Species Act".
