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 the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard".
This bill seeks congressional disapproval of a rule that would grant endangered species protections to the dunes sagebrush lizard. If passed, it would prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule (published May 20, 2024) from taking effect, meaning the lizard would not receive federal protections under the Endangered Species Act. The rule would have required land use restrictions in parts of New Mexico and Texas where the lizard lives. This action directly affects the regulatory status of the species and land management decisions in its habitat.
