Overview: SJRES 92, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to "Rescinding Regulations Regarding Management Systems Pertaining to the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Refuge Roads Program", Introduced in Senate on October 28, 2025
Purpose and Intent: This joint resolution aims to disapprove and nullify a recent rule issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that rescinds regulations related to management systems for the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Refuge Roads Program. The intent is to prevent the FHWA from eliminating these oversight and planning requirements.
Key Provisions:
- Disapproves the FHWA rule "Rescinding Regulations Regarding Management Systems Pertaining to the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Refuge Roads Program"
- Prevents the FHWA from implementing the rescission of these regulations
- Restores the previous management system requirements for the Fish and Wildlife Service and Refuge Roads Program
Affected Parties and Impacts: The Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System, and the Refuge Roads Program would be impacted, as the previous management system regulations would remain in effect. This would maintain oversight, planning, and coordination requirements for these federal lands and infrastructure.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: As a joint resolution, this measure must pass both the Senate and House and be signed by the President to take effect. If approved, it would immediately nullify the FHWA's rescission rule and reinstate the prior management system regulations.
