Latest Action · February 14, 2025
Referred to the Subcommittee on Forestry and Horticulture.
H.J.Res. 36 is a congressional disapproval resolution that would block a rule issued by the U.S. Forest Service on November 25, 2024, concerning law enforcement and criminal prohibitions on national forests. If passed, this resolution would prevent the Forest Service rule from taking effect and strip it of any legal authority. The measure does not involve any funding or specific timeline beyond blocking the existing rule. The resolution was introduced by Representative Maloy and seven cosponsors, primarily from western states, and was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. This type of action is a standard congressional tool under federal law that allows lawmakers to reject regulations they oppose.
