Caption

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".

Impact

If passed, SJR102 would effectively cancel the protections provided to the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard, which could lead to significant changes in land use practices in areas that are currently protecting the lizard's habitat. The implications could extend to industries such as energy development, agriculture, and others that may find regulatory relief from restrictions tied to the species' conservation status. Proponents argue that this will facilitate economic development while critics warn of potential ecological consequences and further risks to biodiversity.

Summary

SJR102 is a joint resolution that seeks congressional disapproval of a rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the Endangered Species Status for the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. The resolution, introduced by Mr. Cruz and co-sponsors, aims to nullify the regulatory protections established for this species under the Endangered Species Act. The bill was introduced in a context that reflects ongoing debates over species conservation and its implications for land and resource management in the regions where this lizard is found.

Contention

The discussion surrounding SJR102 is marked by contention between those advocating for economic interests and advocates for environmental conservation. Supporters of the disapproval claim that the regulations hinder development and growth, while opponents assert that dismantling these protections poses a risk to the lizard's survival and undermines broader conservation efforts. The debate encapsulates a larger ideological divide regarding land use and environmental stewardship in the legislative arena.
