Summary of Bill HJRES 162

Bill 118 hjres 162, also known as the "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'", is a piece of legislation that seeks to overturn a rule proposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the status of the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard.

The rule in question aims to designate the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard as an endangered species, which would afford it certain protections under the Endangered Species Act. However, proponents of Bill 118 hjres 162 argue that this designation would have negative economic impacts on industries such as oil and gas development in the lizard's habitat.

If passed, this bill would effectively nullify the Fish and Wildlife Service's rule and prevent the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard from receiving endangered species status. This has sparked a debate between environmental conservationists who believe in protecting the species and those who prioritize economic interests. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 162 highlights the ongoing tension between conservation efforts and economic development in the United States, particularly when it comes to protecting endangered species like the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard.
