What it does
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a rule issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the Barred Owl Management Strategy in Washington, Oregon, and California, which was submitted as a Record of Decision on September 6, 2024. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule under the Congressional Review Act, meaning it would have no legal force or effect. The measure affects federal wildlife management policy in those three states, particularly concerning efforts to address competition between barred owls and threatened northern spotted owls. The Senate rejected a motion to proceed with consideration of the resolution on October 15, 2025, by a vote of 25–72.
