Blocks a new rule that would change how 'harm' is defined for endangered species.

This bill would stop a new rule from two government agencies. These agencies are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The rule would have changed the meaning of 'Harm' for endangered species. If this bill passes, the current definition of 'Harm' would stay, affecting how these species are protected.

What Would Change

Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA have submitted a rule that would change the definition of 'Harm' under the Endangered Species Act. If this bill becomes law, that rule would be canceled, and the definition of 'Harm' would remain exactly as it is currently, without any changes.

Key Provisions

Blocks a new rule from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA that would change the definition of 'Harm' under the Endangered Species Act.
