This bill seeks to nullify a specific decision and order issued by the Endangered Species Committee on March 31, 2026, ensuring it has no legal force or effect. It explicitly prohibits the obligation or expenditure of any federal funds to implement, administer, or enforce this nullified decision. Furthermore, the legislation establishes a temporary prohibition for a three-year period, preventing the Endangered Species Committee from issuing any new decision or order that would exempt the Gulf of America Oil and Gas Activities from the requirements of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Consequently, all requirements of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 that were in effect on March 30, 2026, will continue to have full force and effect with respect to these specific oil and gas activities.
