To prohibit the implementation of the Draft Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the Rock Springs RMP Revision, Wyoming, and for other purposes.
This bill would block the U.S. Department of the Interior from putting into effect the Bureau of Land Management's proposed land-use plan for the Rock Springs Field Office in Wyoming. That plan, finalized in August 2024, covers how roughly 3.6 million acres of federal land in southwestern Wyoming are managed, affecting activities such as oil and gas development, grazing, recreation, and conservation. Supporters of the bill, including sponsor Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, argue the plan is overly restrictive and harms local industries and communities that depend on access to these public lands. If enacted, the legislation would prevent federal officials from implementing, administering, or enforcing the plan, effectively halting its rollout indefinitely unless Congress or the agency takes further action. The bill has passed through committee review and been reported to the full House for further consideration.
