HJRES 46 United States House · 118th Congress

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".

HJRES 46 is a congressional resolution rejecting a specific rule issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under federal environmental regulations. The resolution seeks to block the NMFS rule (published June 2022) that updated procedures for listing endangered/threatened species and designating critical habitats. If passed, this resolution would make the NMFS rule legally ineffective under federal law. The bill directly affects how the NMFS manages species protection programs but does not change the underlying environmental laws. This is a procedural disapproval resolution, not a new policy.
