SJRES 89 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution 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 "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".

This joint resolution seeks to block a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule concerning the Buffalo Field Office's Resource Management Plan Amendment, which was finalized in November 2024. If passed, it would nullify the rule under the Congressional Review Act, preventing it from taking effect. The resolution directly affects land management decisions at the Buffalo Field Office, specifically regarding public land use and conservation planning. The bill does not create new policy but aims to invalidate an existing BLM regulation that the Government Accountability Office determined qualifies as a "rule" under federal review procedures.
