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 Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process.
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 14, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would overturn a rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management on April 23, 2024, that changed how the federal government handles leases for oil, gas, and other fluid minerals on public lands. The resolution uses a congressional procedure that allows lawmakers to disapprove of federal agency rules without going through the normal legislative process. If passed, the rule would be completely eliminated and cannot be enforced. The measure was introduced by Republican senators and would affect oil and gas companies that lease federal lands, as well as states that receive revenue from these leases. No specific funding or timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as its sole purpose is to reject the existing regulation.
