Sen. Cynthia Lummis is leading a trio of Republican senators in introducing three new CRAs to overturn Biden's expansion of Endangered Species Act protections.
Lummis joined Sens. Dan Sullivan and Pete Ricketts in introducing the resolutions, which were previewed first to therules put forth by the U.S.
The final CRA would overturn reforms implemented under Biden to Section 7 of the ESA to require NOAA or FWS consultation for any project or action that might affect any ESA-listed species or habitat. The CRA would narrow its scope, requiring FWS and NOAA sign-off only when the action is “reasonably certain to occur” in the harm of an ESA-listed population.
“Biden bureaucrats are abusing their authority to push through stifling regulations that will hurt our economy and burden private property owners,” Ricketts said in a statement. “These one-size-fits-all rules hurt landowners and refuse to take into account how they will hurt local economies.”
