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 "Record of Decision for the Barred Owl Management Strategy; Washington, Oregon, and California".

Cancel barred owl rule affecting landowners

This bill would disapprove a Fish and Wildlife Service decision called the Barred Owl Management Strategy. That decision was issued on September 6, 2024. A GAO letter dated May 28, 2025, printed July 10, 2025, found it counts as a rule. If enacted, the rule would have no force or effect upon enactment. Landowners, timber operators, state and tribal wildlife agencies, and conservation groups in Washington, Oregon, and California could see regulatory obligations change.
