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 "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt".
This resolution reverses the Endangered Species Act listing of the San Francisco Bay-Delta longfin smelt. Using the Congressional Review Act, it declares that Congress disapproves the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Distinct Population Segment of the Longfin Smelt," published at 89 Fed. Reg. 61029 on July 30, 2024, and that the rule shall have no force or effect. If enacted, the disapproval would strip the endangered listing from that population of the fish.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 4 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 9 quarterly reports filed by 4 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3 and 2025 Q4. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: Defenders of Wildlife; League of Conservation Voters; Earthjustice Action; Association of California Water Agencies. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
