H.R. 6547, the Colorado Energy Prosperity Act of 2024, blocks the Secretary of the Interior from implementing a specific land management plan affecting western Colorado. The plan in question, finalized by the Bureau of Land Management in June 2024, covers the Colorado River Valley and Grand Junction Field Offices and would guide how public lands in those areas are used, including decisions related to energy development, conservation, and other resource management. The bill directly prohibits federal officials from putting this plan into effect, administering it, or enforcing its provisions. This measure primarily affects residents, businesses, and industries in western Colorado tied to land use on BLM-managed lands, particularly those involved in energy extraction such as oil and gas. The bill does not create new spending or programs; it simply halts action on the existing plan, with no specified end date for the prohibition.
