To provide that the final rule of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status With Critical Habitat for Guadalupe Fatmucket, Texas Fatmucket, Guadalupe Orb, Texas Pimpleback, Balcones Spike, and False Spike, and Threatened Species Status With Section 4(d) Rule and Critical Habitat for Texas Fawnsfoot" shall have no force or effect.

This bill seeks to nullify a specific final rule issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on June 4, 2024. The targeted FWS rule designates several species of mussels, such as the Guadalupe Fatmucket, Texas Fatmucket, and Balcones Spike, as endangered or threatened species . Additionally, the FWS rule establishes critical habitat for these species and includes a Section 4(d) rule for the Texas Fawnsfoot. If enacted, this legislation would ensure that the FWS rule regarding these mussel species and their habitats has no legal force or effect , preventing its implementation.
