HJRES 140 United States House · 119th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.

HJRES 140 is a procedural resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule published in the Federal Register (88 Fed. Reg. 6308, January 31, 2023). The resolution targets Public Land Order No. 7917, which proposed withdrawing federal lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota. If passed, this resolution would block the BLM rule from taking effect by invoking the disapproval process under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code. It directly affects the implementation of the land withdrawal proposal but does not alter the underlying land status or create new policy.

MINOR

This is a transition from the House-engrossed version to the enrolled (both-chambers-passed) version of HJRES 140. The substantive policy content is unchanged: it still disapproves the Bureau of Land Management rule relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN. The changes are entirely procedural, reflecting that the resolution passed both chambers and is now in enrolled form ready for presidential action.

TECHNICAL

The bill status changed from 'EH' (Engrossed in House) to 'ENR' (Enrolled Bill), indicating passage by both the Senate and House of Representatives.

The House passage date ('Passed the House of Representatives January 21, 2026') and Clerk signature line were removed.

Enrolled bill formatting was added, including 'Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled' language and signature lines for the Speaker of the House and the Vice President/President of the Senate.
