This joint resolution would disapprove a rule submitted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service called the "Barred Owl Management Strategy." The record of decision was issued September 6, 2024. A Government Accountability Office letter dated May 28, 2025 (printed in the Congressional Record on July 10, 2025) concluded that the record of decision is a rule under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution states that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The measure was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources.
If this joint resolution is adopted by Congress, it would declare the Fish and Wildlife Service record of decision on the barred owl strategy to have no force or effect. The text of the resolution does not describe specific actions or consequences beyond nullifying that rule.
