About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 4, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would use Congress's authority to disapprove federal regulations and overturn a Bureau of Land Management rule governing the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's management plan, which was issued in January 2025. The resolution affects how the monument—a large public lands area in Utah—will be managed going forward, potentially impacting conservation efforts, recreation access, and resource extraction activities in the region. If approved by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, the rule would be nullified and have "no force or effect," meaning the monument would revert to its previous management framework or require new guidelines. The resolution relies on the Congressional Review Act, a procedural mechanism that allows Congress to reject regulations within a specific timeframe. No additional funding is mentioned in the resolution, as it is purely a measure of legislative disapproval rather than an appropriations bill.
