WASHINGTON — A group of Democratic lawmakers on Thursday moved to overturn a last-minute rule by the Bush administration intended to reduce input from government scientists when evaluating whether dams, power plants or other projects might harm endangered species.
The 13 House members introduced a resolution that, if passed by both houses of Congress and signed by incoming President Barack Obama, will block the rule from taking effect. The action uses a 1996 law that allows Congress to review new regulations. It has been used once in the past 12 years.
