On the Joint Resolution
The Senate approved a Congressional Review Act resolution 51-43 against the Bureau of Land Management's Buffalo Field Office plan, which restricted coal leasing in northeastern Wyoming. The measure, already passed by the House, heads to President Trump's desk to overturn the Biden-era rule.
Wyoming's congressional delegation celebrated the passage of H.J. Res. 130, which uses the Congressional Review Act to invalidate a BLM ban on new federal coal leasing in the Powder River Basin. Critics argue the move bypasses public input and upends public lands management.
