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".

Key Points

• Congress is moving to overturn a Bureau of Land Management plan that changes how federal land and minerals are managed in the Buffalo, Wyoming area.
• The plan being targeted was originally released in November 2024 and sets new guidelines for activities like coal mining and energy development on public lands.
• If this resolution becomes law, the agency's plan would be canceled immediately and the agency would be blocked from passing a similar rule in the future.
• This move is led by Senator Lummis and other lawmakers who are concerned that the new federal rules could harm the local economy and limit American energy production.
• This action is part of a process that lets Congress double-check and reject rules made by government agencies if they believe the agency has overstepped its authority.
