About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 4, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This joint resolution would disapprove and block a Bureau of Land Management rule governing how the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah should be managed. The rule, issued in January 2025, established a resource management plan for the monument that was subsequently determined to qualify as a "rule" subject to congressional review under federal law. If passed, this resolution would invalidate the management plan entirely, meaning it would have no legal force or effect. The measure was introduced in March 2026 by representatives primarily from Utah and Nevada, states affected by the monument's management, and was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. This type of resolution is a procedural tool Congress uses to overturn executive agency regulations through a simple majority vote in both chambers.
