WEST Act of 2025
HR 1206, the WEST Act of 2025, cancels a specific Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule titled "Conservation and Landscape Health" (published in the Federal Register on April 3, 2023). The bill directly affects the BLM and anyone subject to the rule, which governed land management practices on public lands. Its key mechanism is a straightforward provision declaring the rule "shall have no force or effect," effectively removing it from federal regulations without creating new policies. This is a procedural action targeting a specific existing regulation, not a broader policy change.
