Bill Summary

A joint resolution 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 "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".

AI Summary

This joint resolution is a formal congressional action aimed at disapproving a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) related to the Miles City Field Office's Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment. The resolution, which invokes the Congressional Review Act (a law that allows Congress to review and potentially nullify federal regulations), explicitly states that the BLM's rule issued on November 20, 2024, shall have no force or effect. The resolution is supported by a Government Accountability Office (GAO) letter dated June 25, 2025, which concluded that the BLM's document constitutes a rule subject to congressional review. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively invalidate the BLM's planned resource management strategy for the Miles City Field Office, preventing its implementation and potentially requiring the agency to develop a new approach.
