Us Congress House Bill HJR155

Introduced
5/23/24  

Caption

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 Interagency Cooperation".

Impact

The impact of HJR155, if enacted, would effectively nullify the NMFS's regulations regarding interagency cooperation for endangered and threatened species. This change could influence how federal agencies collaborate on conservation efforts, thus possibly affecting enforcement actions and the dissemination of resources necessary for wildlife protection. Lawmakers supporting the resolution may argue that such disapproval returns power to Congress, allowing for a more scrutinized and possibly less regulatory burden on certain sectors.

Summary

HJR155 is a joint resolution aimed at providing congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5 of the United States Code concerning the rule established by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) related to 'Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Regulations for Interagency Cooperation.' This resolution highlights Congress's role in overseeing federal regulations, particularly those that pertain to the conservation of wildlife and plants recognized as endangered or threatened. By initiating this disapproval, Congress seeks to reject the NMFS's rule which it perceives as potentially overreaching.

Contention

Discussions around HJR155 may reveal notable points of contention among legislators, particularly between those who prioritize environmental protection and those advocating for limited federal intervention in state and local affairs. Proponents may contend that the NMFS's regulations impose undue restrictions that hinder economic and developmental activities, while opponents may argue that disapproving of these regulations undermines essential wildlife protection efforts. This resolution, therefore, raises fundamental questions about the balance between environmental conservation and economic interests.
