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 "Barred Owl Management Strategy".

# Summary of HJRES 111 **What This Bill Would Do** This resolution would block a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule about managing barred owls. If passed, it would overturn the agency's "Barred Owl Management Strategy" using a congressional procedure called the "Congressional Review Act," which allows lawmakers to reject federal regulations they disagree with. The bill doesn't specify what the strategy contains, but the subject matter suggests it involves controlling barred owl populations, likely in western states like California, Oregon, and Washington. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The resolution primarily affects wildlife management in western states and the Fish and Wildlife Service's authority to implement environmental policies.

It was introduced by Representative Troy Nehls (R-TX) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't advanced to a full House vote yet. Without additional context about the specific barred owl strategy, it's unclear whether the disagreement centers on environmental concerns, agricultural impacts, conflicts with other species, or implementation methods. The bill reflects broader debates about federal regulatory power and how environmental decisions should be made.
