Mandate to withdraw proposed Endangered Species Act rule changes.

This bill requires federal agencies (USFWS and NOAA) to immediately withdraw three specific proposed regulatory changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This action prevents new rules from taking effect regarding how species are listed, how critical habitats are designated, and how federal agencies cooperate on conservation efforts. For citizens and businesses, this means the current regulatory framework governing land use and development projects in protected areas will remain in place.
Key points
Stopping regulatory updates: Federal agencies are prohibited from implementing planned changes to rules governing endangered species protection and habitat designation.
Maintaining the status quo: The existing rules regarding how federal projects must consider wildlife protection will continue to apply.
